Well-balanced puzzle from Teazel, I solved at a slightly slower time of 13:22

I found this pretty tough going again: rolled in at the 20 minute mark to unlock the doors of the SCC.

Good puzzle for fans of Double defs and Cryptic defs, but some bear traps. Pink Square for me, even after parsing them all.

16:11, I struggled with both the long down clues, which made the solve slower than it should have been.

Not so easy, 14:37. But no false DAWNs today.

Struggled mightily to get a foothold, and I’ll be opening up the SCC today and putting the kettle on.

On the hard side, I took above average time, 15:02.

Nice Puzzle from Mara, I messed up a few of the clues, leading to a longer than usual time, close to 15 mins.

Very slow start, took an age before the FOI, things moved on pretty quick for me then. 10:23.

14:23 for me, which included a couple of clues where I was searching for a non-existent anagram.
