An enjoyable Friday QC from Trelawney today. No time recorded but I think it was about average for me. Some great clues and entertaining surfaces. I liked 8A, 9D and 18D, but COD to the clever 2D. Thank-you Trelawney! How did you all get on?

This one is a middle of the road Jumbo Cryptic, I think, with plenty of straightforward clues to give you some checkers and a few less common words to boost your vocabulary. I finished in 36 1/2 minutes, which is a bit faster than average for me. I liked the travelling dog, the edible wood and the not-so-busy afternoon best. Thank-you setter. How did you all like it?
YAI! Yet Another Izetti, my third in a row. One or two tricky bits, as always with Izetti, but lots of classy clues. Thank-you Izetti! How did you all get on?

Today I have another Izetti to blog. A little on the hard side again, I think. Some nice clues – I liked 22A and 6D in particular, but there is one word I think is a bit obscure and a couple of other tricky bits in the SE corner. Thank-you Izetti. How did you all get on?

I found this Jumbo a little trickier than average, with plenty of clever wordplay that rewarded persistence when the pennies dropped. In all, it took me nearly an hour with the last handful of clues taking nearly 10 minutes of that. Thank-you setter. How did you all get on?
A bit of a tricky Quick Cryptic from Izetti today, I think. I was slow to get started with very few across clues yielding an answer on a first pass, but the downs got me going. Thank-you Izetti. How did you all get on?

A bit of a tricky Quick Crossword from Mara today, if my time is anything to go by, but maybe I was just a bit tired. It’s one for anagram lovers, with no less than 9 of them. Nice one Mara – Thank-you. How did you all get on?

Today we have what I think is a pleasant middle-of-the-road Quick Cryptic from our old friend Wurm. I was off to a flying start with 1A, 7A and 8A and was only held up by the actress, finishing in 4:36. LOI was 21A, which I needed the checkers to see. 4D, though, is maybe a bit of a tricky cryptic definition for a QC. How did you all get on?
