A nice mix of clues here, with some not too difficult anagrams balanced by a few which helped to get the brain into gear for the day ahead.

I finished this just within my 10 minute target.

Welcome again, for my 3rd Quick Cryptic blog in a row, to our old friend Izetti. I expect that many, seeing the dreaded portcullis grid and Izetti’s name at the top thought this might be quite a struggle. But that wasn’t my experience. Thank-you Izetti. How did you all get on?

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “It’s Raining” (and news of a London get together in June) here.

A nice set of clues, pitched on the gentler side of things.

First time I’ve blogged one of Joker’s offerings. Not too much here that is too tricky though I was mainly held up by the two thirteen-letter words and a hastily bunged-in 2d which required some backtracking.

A fair outing from Orpheus, which I completed in good time without too much trouble.

Hi all.  Unusually for a Monday this took me a smidge longer than average, although no particular problems to report. I liked several images conjured up by the surfaces. 

Lots to enjoy in this medium-difficult offering from Felix

Please let us all know how you got on, and I thank Wurm for his efforts on behalf of us all.

Lots to like here, although I found this trickier than normal from Trelawney. The three down clues in the NW corner all held out to the very end, as did the storyteller.
