Hi everyone.  Apart from a careless spelling error this went smoothly. No particular favourites, but all enjoyed.  Thanks Jalna!

Hello hello … another new setter! I found this very well pitched for a Quick Cryptic; it took me comfortably less than my median time and I enjoyed it. Thanks Pipsqueak, and hope to see you again soon.

Hi everyone. This took me very slightly above my median Quickie time. I much enjoyed it as expected, with Clue of The Day 14a. How was it for you?

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!
