I struggled with parts of this, this morning, not helped by putting the more obvious (to me) but wrong ending to the first word at 31a.

The sun is once again shining south of the Loire, and I have had an entertaining crossword to review. Not sure why we have three clues where the answers are number(s) though.

Two stars for difficulty today, I spent longer on the top right hand side of the crossword than I did on the rest of it. Possibly because I initially struggled to see 7d (what a clue!).

Good fun as usual, although we are a bit confused with 22a. If you found this was over too quickly, you can always get a double dose by trying the Rufus in the Guardian.

Its currently scorchio here (31C at 10.30am and rising). The usual fun and pleasant solve from Rufus. If you get through this too quickly, there is another Rufus in the Guardian to try.

Another warm day south of the Loire, and a return to normal for the Maestro. Enjoyable but not taxing.
