Crossword 16.9.2020
We’ve been through a little of what’s happened around the world over the past seven days, and picked out some of what’s gone on to see if you noticed as well.
For me, these questions – almost all from the headlines or linked to them – are harder than last week’s … at least, they were until I saw the answers.
The plan is to put the solution up on Friday. Good luck!
