Today we have a QC from Felix. A little on the tricky side of average but not overly so, I think, going by my time of 5:57. Thank-you Felix. How did you all get on?
It being Felix as our setter, we have come to expect a theme/Nina in the grid. Can you find it?
Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “Playtime” (and details of our London get together a week tomorrow) here.
