Times 29079 – don’t look up.
A rather curious puzzle, the shorter clues were more of a struggle than the longer ones.

I found this to be a puzzle of easy to medium difficulty.

I think this is Peridot’s just third appearance. 14:01 for me. Yes, not all your bloggers are speedsters, according to the Quitch, this is my average time.

A good mix of clues with one notable exception.

I thought there was a lot of nice stuff going on here and enjoyed myself a lot.

I found this mostly straightforward but was delayed by one clue.
Mephisto 3350 – Small Latin, but a heck of a lot of Greek!
Well, John Grimshaw is back, but in a tamed version. I was able to solve this puzzle, and parse every answer, but it was not exactly a pushover. I would say this is exactly the right level of difficulty that most Mephisto solvers would find enjoyable.

I don’t remember having much trouble with this one, once I finally got started. It is, at least, all clear on looking back.
