<p>How’s your Octimism? Mine’s flagging badly, but here’s hoping you like my crossword for this month, Round The Corner.<span id="more-1066"></span> The usual format – download a <a data-rel="lightbox-image-0" data-rl_caption="" data-rl_title="" href="https://tlmb.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Round_The_Corner-by_The_Void.png" title="">standard</a> or <a data-rel="lightbox-image-1" data-rl_caption="" data-rl_title="" href="https://tlmb.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Round_The_Corner-by_The_Void-inksaver.png" title="">inksaver</a> printout, or scroll down for an embedded browser-solveable version.
