Ulaca, I think you’re up for the blog this Sunday, so please go ahead and post it. Dave will resume from next week. Thanks to Ulaca, Jackkt, Keriothe and Sotira for keeping it going.
Stop Press: Dave has asked me to find someone to share the Sunday slot with him, so I need a volunteer for that. Dave will start with this week’s puzzle (to be blogged next Sunday), so I’ll give first refusal for the other alternate Sundays to our current temporary Sunday crew. Any takers?
Macavity, thanks for blogging Jumbo 1090, but Dave will resume from 1095.
Verlaine, please carry on blogging every other Friday, as Dave will not be resuming his old Friday slot.
I also have some bad news, that Mctext has decided to call it a day, with this week’s blog having been his last. This means that there’s an every-other-Wednesday slot available starting from 4th June. Let me know if you’re interested. Mctext started blogging here in Jan 2011, replacing Pete Biddlecombe on Wednesdays when he went off to be Sunday Times crossword editor, and I’m sure you’ll agree both have done a great job since then. Sorry to see you go, Alec.

Friday’s offering (on the grown up puzzle) reaffirmed to me that I am still very much in Novice mode – felt like a village cricketer facing Mitch Johnson with his dander up! But kind of you to suggest otherwise.
