Certainly a few entered here without fully understanding the parsing at first – only fully parsed post-solve. However, a backslap to the setter for 3d – Myrtilus’s creation recognised at last!

A thought-provoking challenge from Felix who is known for the ninas and themes with which his grids are occasionally spiced. Always worth reviewing the grid on completion to see if you can spot anything….

Medium-paced offering from Breadman and my second time in a row blogging him – this seemed a shade easier than the previous one (QC 2297) though I did biff a few, only fully parsing post-completion.

Nestled in the lull between Christmas and New Year, I found that a couple of clues in today’s offering from Breadman required a little extra brainpower to parse. How did you get on?

Today’s gentle offering from Orpheus contains perhaps only one vocabularic obscurity, making this a decent entry-level puzzle. How did you get on?

A medium-strength offering from Hurley – should be nothing too tricky here, though there is a pink-square possibility if you are not careful….

None of the vocabulary should be too tricky here, though I had to think twice about some of the constructions.
