How are we doing? I'm off for a couple of hours but all mysteries can be revealed!

Always a pleasure to put these puzzles up. I'm having a hack at one that is pretty impenetrable.

Right up there with Azed and Ximines and the Listener. When I've finally cracked it, I might put it up sometime.

But household duties are the priority right now. Catch you later.
