A good puzzle to do over lunch I found. My favourite was 9ac.

Times Cryptic No 29021 — Lift and separate
DNF. I think a lot of the wordplay here was quite tricky (more lifting and separating than you might find in a pilates class), but I fairly raced through this one until I got to the upper-left corner. After 15 minutes of beard-scratching, I still wasn’t able to get 1 Across or Down, so I threw in the towel.

It’s that band again.
Times 29020 – now we go to school
Time taken: 12:27. Not all the way to Tricky Thursday, but I found this one the most difficult of the week so far.
Times 29019 – a hive of activity
A reasonably gentle offering which took me about twenty minutes.

Nice Puzzle from Mara, I messed up a few of the clues, leading to a longer than usual time, close to 15 mins.
