Walkthrough for yesterday's Haisu will be edited in later.

With winter officially ending today, it's time to get in the summer mood with a relaxing book and a Cocktail Lamp on the beach (the water's freezing). Actually I'm pretty cold too, so I'll put on a coat and have a hot chocolate instead. Oh, now it's raining. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Pretend I'm in Australia instead. Now it's nice and warm and the sun's beaming. Wait, is that a swarm of jellyfish?

For now let's just stay in the safety of home and solve some puzzles. Here's to spring.

Rules: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells within a region form a single orthogonally connected group. Cells separated by a region border can't both be shaded. All groups of shaded cells must diagonally connect across regions to form a single, diagonally connected network. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A region without a number may contain any number of shaded cells, including 0. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
