This puzzle took me well over my target time, but I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t mind at all.

A puzzle from Izetti today, so we know we’re probably not in for a gentle stroll.

Another classic Quick Cryptic from Orpheus today. Just the right level of difficulty, I think, judging by my time. COD to the clever 6D, but I rather liked 12A and 19D too. Thank-you Orpheus!

A quality puzzle, pitched a touch on the harder side of average.

Medium-level QC challenge, but hopefully nothing too ungettable…

Hi everybody. 17a is my firm favourite today as I’m currently popping round daily to feed and cuddle a colleague’s two truly adorable animals. 9a and 4d sent me on a less happy train of thought, so I will turn my attention back to the here and now. I took about 25% longer than average, which is unusual for me on a Monday. I’ll be interested to see how you found it. Thanks Hurley!
