WE HAVE REACHED 14!
p.s. if you haven't tried the puzzle, overnight answers are welcome. A little extra humble pie for Fiona would be nice....

Hey, thanks, Ian. Way to get Sudokuland stirred up and ready to solve the puzzle!

I have been thinking about the choice of dinner with ? Joan Baez or ? Dalia Llama
Both are great and Joan Baez was a favourite of mine during my folk-singing era.
But I think for dinner there is no coice - it must be the Dalia Llhama. Humble, humane, imaginative, and interesting
