Phew what a scorcher, the temperature this weekend, not my time, which was a respectable 9:52.

Hi all, and happy bank holiday if that applies to you. It’s good to see Wurm again so soon.

I enjoyed this puzzle more than usual. In general I thought the definitions were nicely incorporated, not too plainly in sight but not so disguised as to push the difficulty sky high.

For the blog title I nearly went with “on fire, then burned!” which describes my solve: I was on course for a near-record time when I found myself stalled for a more than a minute on a clue which shouldn’t have troubled me … It is too hot!

I hope you are keeping cool and had as much fun as I did today. Thanks Wurm.
