Off to a flying start but slowed on the right hand side. Still, easier than others we’ve had this week, and very gentle for Friday.

Thankfully, and for a change, I understand all of the elements of this relatively easy Friday offering.

A pan-Atlantic offering to please (or frustrate) us all.

A tale of two halves, for me. The science bits and the more classic crossword-ese suited me fine, but there was some outstandingly devilish and original clueing going on as well.

I seemed to click with this one.

A treat for those who like their Friday puzzles solvable, and their blogs brief.

A rollercoaster of crossword-solving emotions today.

It is a great pleasure to introduce a puzzle of mid-difficulty for a change!

Competition-level stuff. I hope you solved more of it than I did.

It was such a pity not to finish this fabulous puzzle correctly because I felt outsmarted from the start but chipped away and still fell short.
