A regular visitor to our Friday QC slot today – it’s Izetti. I didn’t find his crossword too difficult although there are a couple of bits of general knowledge required that may not be familiar to everyone.

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic.  This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “The Geese Are Getting Fat”, here. Enjoy!

Top notch puzzle, on the trickier side.

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

I found this pangram fun and it took me fractionally under 13 minutes. Only your times will tell if this puzzle is medium difficulty as my time will be skewed by lack of practice.

Hi everyone.  There’s a bit of a sciencey feel to this offering from Pedro, which always goes down well with me.

An interesting mix of the gentle and the chewy

Well welcome to a brand-new setter, Beck, who has given us a very gentle opening QC which took me less than 10 minutes to crack…

A satisfying mix of easy and difficult clues in this offering from Felix.

Today it’s my turn to stand in for our regular blogger Chris who is still on his travels. I nearly came to a 1A in this QC from Teazel where I got stuck in the SE corner for too long. In retrospect I don’t think there was anything too difficult, but how did you find it? Thank-you Teazel.
