Good morning to everyone from a cool and, so far at least, a rather hazy morning in Oxford. This is my first attempt at doing most of it “my own self”! Thanks to BD for doing the bits that I can’t quite do yet, to Pommers for all his patience, help and encouragement, and to the rest of you for putting up with any mistakes that I may have made. There is little, if any, doubt in my mind that this is a Ray T production.

A big thank you to Virgilius for another fine example of the ‘best puzzle of the week’ - quite a few double definitions this time but the stand out favourite has to be the laugh-out-loud moment when you ‘get’ 4d.

I must have been very good in a previous life because I’m being rewarded with more than my fair share of Micawber Toughies to blog. We have another excellent puzzle from him today, not too difficult but really entertaining.

I don’t wish to be 1a but I really didn’t find much to enjoy here – it all seemed very mechanical.

An enjoyable outing from Rufus today with a tussle and a query at 2d. What is your view? This has been done in the early hours as we are going to the opening of an exhibition of Aviation paintings at The Mall Galleries in London.
Solved silently this week whilst Saint Sharon slept peacefully. I will now go and wake her up to see if she is sleeping alright.
