Hello everyone.  Thanks to Jalna for a puzzle which I found lots of fun and thought perfectly pitched for the slot.

Time after time, I don’t have a clear favourite to mention here, but this time I do: 17d.  I also liked the gift of frilly clothing in 14a.  Neither of these clues have misleading definitions, but both have delightful wordplay.

I had intended to attribute the problems I had with the puzzle to the Bank Holiday, but upon checking the calendar I find that was last week.    I didn’t help myself by biffing estaminet with two checkers, even though that is an old cafe and not an old hotel.
