Only one comment in the margin of my copy, at 26ac. Otherwise, smooth sailing.

Times Cryptic 28998 – Saturday, 17 August 2024. Easy as falling off a blog.
This was reasonably easy to solve, and very easy to write up!
Times Cryptic 28992 – Saturday, 10 August 2024. Cute as a button.
Lots of clues struck me as having a novel flavour, and 24ac is superb.
Times Cryptic 28986 – Saturday, 3 August 2024. A semi-open book.
There seemed to be a lot of clues where I could see the answer from the definition, but laboured to see the wordplay.
Times Cryptic 28980 – Saturday, 27 July 2024. Winds round from the south east.
I found this harder than recent Saturdays. Progress was along the diagonals – the NW and SE put up most resistance. I loved the clever clueing and applauded the scarcity of obscurities!
Times Cryptic 28974 – Saturday, 20 July 2024.
There were a lot of neat clues and cute ideas here.
Times Cryptic 28968 – Saturday, 13 July 2024. Mist in the west
The western side of this puzzle put up good resistance!
Times Cryptic 28962 – Saturday, 6 July 2024.
Not terribly hard for a Saturday, although some of the definitions eluded me for a while.
Times Cryptic 28956 – Saturday, 29 June 2024. On yer bike!
I enjoyed this. An interesting tidbit about old bikes!
Times Cryptic 28950 – Saturday, 22 June 2024. Knocked it out of the park?
The cricket reference in 2dn may be particularly puzzling for non-aficionados!
