Alas young Tilsit is still getting his money’s worth from the NHS, so we are back again. Not the most difficult Friday Toughie, although Cleo did need Tony to explain a couple of bits of wordplay as she was being a little dense this morning.

If today had not been a Friday I would have been hard pressed to identify this as a Giovanni puzzle. It consists of four long anagrams with most of the other clues being relatively easy. I’m not a fan of long anagrams – I almost invariably get the answer from the definition, enumeration and a few checking letters then work backwards to identify the fodder. I’d be interested to know how other solvers work.
If you want to see an answer just highlight the gap between the brackets under the clue (if you solve on the move there’s some advice as to how to do this on mobile devices in the FAQ section).

Morning All!. Apologies for the tardiness – I was getting set to write this up last night but a poorly cat (I am looking after my brother’s) warranted a degree of attention last night!. We have a typical Cephas puzzle if I am any judge – some very good surface readings and a couple of chestnutty starters!.
