Distractions, interruptions and messing up a spelling made this seem tricky bit I’m not convinced.

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

Seasons greetings to you all and to Hurley who provided a good challenge – one which I completed in a whisker under ten minutes. Hitting target for my final (scheduled) blog was most satisfying.

Having just written out the blog, I’m not sure why this took me 13 minutes. All very enjoyable – thanks, Teazel.

Some great clues and a fun puzzle from Wurm. I didn’t  know how to parse 1ac but was fortunately enlightened by an always helpful source. Just on 8 minutes – so this flowed well – especially in the top half.

I found this pangram fun and it took me fractionally under 13 minutes. Only your times will tell if this puzzle is medium difficulty as my time will be skewed by lack of practice.

My last blog for a few weeks. Today’s puzzle took me 12 minutes – so not obviously easy.

A good start then a slow finish in the SW.

It’s seems a while since Tuesday has been graced by a quick QC but Mara has obliged.
