APPOINTMENT
SPANGRAM: CALENDAR

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

Here’s a return to more familiar Strands fare after yesterday’s rather more difficult puzzle. The theme here is CALENDAR, something without which I would be absolutely lost given my terrible memory.

Fortunately, I found it easier to find the likes of DATE, MONTH, EVENT and HOLIDAY than I do to remember my nephew’s birthday, and only the lengthy APPOINTMENT caused me any trouble.
