Times 28815 – when January went dry.

Another not-so-tricky but pleasant Wednesday, with a bit of literature and some geography to test our GK.

A nicely-pitched offering from Breadman today.

Few obscurities in this pleasant puzzle from Alex.

I was pleased with my time considering there were more than my usual average of unknown words or meanings.

A bit of an extended Quick Crossword, this one, so hopefully a few Quickieites will be over to have a stab at this one.

12 minutes with half the time spent on four clues in the SW corner.

I found this a relatively approachable Mephisto, and finished it in one sitting.

Hmm… I detect a theme here.

I’d put this somewhere in the medium difficulty bracket.

I thought this Jumbo a little harder than usual, with the left-hand side harder than the right.
