Here in Australia, the period around Christmas and New Year is for lazing in the sun. This puzzle was perfectly suited to that lifestyle!

If I could explain the “mystery” clue, this puzzle would be par for a Saturday!

This was a par Saturday puzzle. It was all solvable, although not everything was smooth sailing.

Another Saturday that contrasted nicely with the Fierce Friday on the day before.

Smurfs are blue. I was sunny – a Saturday of my favourite kind.

I started this one over supper. The better half of the BRANCH household demonstrated an impressive talent for looking at the grid and saying, “that one looks like X”.

I was helped here by knowing a number of things I’ve only met in crosswords.

I started well here, but the last few slowed me down dramatically!

Fortunately America wasn’t my special subject! Several clues in this one featured facts about the USA that exposed gaps in my knowledge.

After a full week, I don’t remember much about this. Perhaps it was easy?
