Today we have a Quick Crossword from the occasional setter Kenny, his second of the year. On the tricky side of average it took me 6:33 finishing with 4D, which was my COD, although I liked 8A and 21D too.

We know Kenny is one of our crossword editor’s pseudonyms and have come to expect a Nina. Can you spot today’s?

Welcome again, for my 3rd Quick Cryptic blog in a row, to our old friend Izetti. I expect that many, seeing the dreaded portcullis grid and Izetti’s name at the top thought this might be quite a struggle. But that wasn’t my experience. Thank-you Izetti. How did you all get on?

Today we are treated, once again, to a Friday Quick Crypric from Izetti. Being fortunate enough to know all the required general knowledge, I managed to sail through this in very nearly a clean sweep. Thank-you Izetti. How did you all get on?

A fine Quick Cryptic from Izetti today, if a little tricky in parts. 7D, 11A and 21A in particular held me up, taking my up to 6:54. But lots of great clues, my favourite being 1A. Thank-you Izetti! How did you all get on?

Well that was a bit tricky in places, but a great QC from Pedro today. Some super clues including a reverse cryptic and a diverse set geographical references, including one of my favourite towns in Suffolk.
