Times Cryptic 28772

I was a little surprised to find 55 minutes on the clock as I finished because I wasn’t aware that I had been solving particularly slowly.

Solving time: 59 minutes with at least the last 20 of these spent on four clues.

I was a little disturbed by not knowing the word at 1ac but things went smoothly apart from a minor hold up at the end on 11dn and 24ac.

Pretty straightforward fayre.

I found this easy.

Mostly straightforward.

The bottom half flew in but I struggled more in the top half.

An enjoyable Jumbo solved over two sessions with only a couple of unknown words or meanings.

57 minutes with ages spent at the end on 16dn and 22ac.

I missed my revised target by one minute.
