Quality puzzle, quite tricky.
Times 29025 – what breed of dog did you say?
A pleasant, mid-level Wednesday puzzle.

An enjoyable melange of words in an accessible grid
Times Cryptic 29024
I found enough easy answers to make a confident start in all quarters of the grid but then hit problems and slowed to a crawl.

On the hard side, I took above average time, 15:02.

Hello everybody. This felt a little tricky for a quickie: although it didn’t last much longer than usual, certainly no Monday picnic. (Cue lots of reports of scorching times!) I was surprised to see who the setter was as it didn’t feel quite up to his usual quality. Still enjoyable though – thanks Izetti.
Times 29023 – Take it easy, either way…
Another easy Monday, although the preponderance of longish answers provided some challenges, along with some interesting words.

14:50. I obviously found this tricky but I can’t really see why now.

Another puzzle by Wurm to enjoy, and (trigger alert) again he is making full use of the new freedom to reference living people.
