12:29. Not as hard as the Orpheus from 4 weeks ago but the two long answers and some less common words, eg 12a, extended my solving time.

11:42; all present and correct. Not as hard as the Orpheus I blogged a couple of weeks ago but still more than enough to keep the solver honest

Maybe just me, but I found this one hard and I was granted permission to enter the hallowed portals of the SCC by a full 14 seconds to complete it.

A pleasant solve without too many difficulties which I managed to complete within my 10 minute target with 15 seconds to spare.

An enjoyable puzzle from Teazel with several clues needing more than a bit of thought.

I don’t have much time, so please, even though I like his puzzles, anyone but a certain setter…, oh, no!

Quite a tricky one at the time I thought, with the SW corner holding out longest.
