Times 29195 – you break it when your pleasure serves

Times 29183 – in which I give over and drown
This might be the hardest crossword I have ever attempted to blog.
Times 29171 – you do wrong your hand too much

Times 29159 – no hare, sir

Times 29147 – when in a wood, bay the bear.

Times 29135 – not for the faint of heart
A very interesting, if challenging, puzzle.
Times 29129 – where’s Antonio, then?
A roughly average time for me, but it felt harder while solving.
