Greetings, barred-grid fans!

Last Saturday I was still a bit under the weather, and couldn’t get anywhere with this puzzle.   It really wasn’t that difficult, but I wasn’t sharp enough to tackle it, and couldn’t get any of the four long answers, which is the key to solving this particular grid.

This one was not too bad, although a bit harder than Paul’s usual.     After much struggle, I kept saying I should have seen that one right away.

This one was a little tough, even though I finished most of it on a Saturday night, and polished off most of the rest the next morning.   Most, but not all.

Greetings, barred-grid fans. Hopefully last week’s challenge didn’t take away your will to live!

I had a little trouble getting started, but I made tolerable progress until the nearly the end.   However the last few were pretty tough, and requited an extensive dictionary trawl.

This one was pretty easy for a Mephisto, and  I found little to hold me up.   I actually knew most of the answers, unlike some Mephistos I have done.
