Hello everybody.  I completed this in a normal kind of time, with a normal level of enjoyment … and as normal I can’t choose a favourite!  Thanks Pedro.

Hello, and happy Monday everyone. I thought this a nicely pitched puzzle with plenty to amuse. How did you find it?

Hi everybody.  This felt a bit harder than usual for a Monday; it took me just under my average time for a midweek QC.  It was fiddlier to write up than some too.  You might expect 8a to be my COD, and why resist being predictable?  I’d expect most of you to pick something else: there are other simple but effective clues to choose from, and some intricate constructions to admire if that’s more your thing.  Thanks Teazel!

Hello everyone. I very much liked today’s puzzle. I don’t anticipate many protests about the difficulty and expect to see a wide selection of favourites. Thanks Jalna!

Hi all. This one didn’t put up too much of a fight but did make me smile. So it’s purrs from me. I wonder what Pumpa’s verdict will be? And what did you think?

Hi everyone. How did you find this on the Izetti Scoville scale? For me it was mild, but then I’ve been doing these a while and may be held up by different things to you. My COD is 4d, with a mention too for 7d. Those are also the two clues featuring exclamation marks. Fancy that! Thanks Izetti!

Hello all. Joker can sometimes be tricky but sometimes goes easier on the solver. For me, this came very much in the latter category. Thanks Joker!
