Finally found a Monday morning I can cope with.
The high temperature here in my location in the Maldives today was 28c.
It is almost midnight and the temperature is… 28c.
Gotta love being a speck in the middle of the ocean.

This is a clue to mal=bad in French, and bad dives would give you the bends.
The Maldives is also generally a diver’s paradise which might have made you think of it.

TIME IS UP and I have officially scored the point for today’s #HideAndPeake
But because this is a very fun one, I’m going to play this through until you guess it…
Cryptic clue - could you get “le bends” here?
Hurry up, my feet are wet and shrivelling up!

This was a clue to Malé, which I am near but not in, and I am a male. Terribly obtuse clues ahoy, sailor!

This is definitely an interesting #HideAndPeake. Cryptic clue that you almost certainly won’t get: Near me?
You made A Choice in that case

Congrats to @ontimeoffblock.bsky.social for guessing correctly that I am in the Maldives! Why did you all think I was in London?! Score that one for Dan in #HideAndPeake
Hence, no streaming last week or next week. I am a bit far away in this incredible paradise - it is honestly astonishing.

I was about to give the clues:
It’s a quarter to midnight here and 28c (82F)
And
Mother, Lord, Four, El Salvador - as a cryptic hint.

Have I had jet lag? Well, my continuous fatigue makes it difficult to tell, but I would say yes I have had jet lag as a result of coming here. (sadly not Jet Lag The Game)

The most recent thing I ate was a coconut pudding, which is sort of appropriate, there are coconuts here.

Yes - my location is an island. I’ll accept the country name as an end to today’s game though.

You're east of Prime Meridian, not in Central Europe Time, which means you'd have to be somewhere 2 or more hours ahead of the UK

Fun fact, I get here I needed a visa, but it’s one they give to tourists so no real application process for it.
