Neither difficult nor enjoyable with a lot of “messy” (for want of a better word) clues.

Good morning from South Staffs on a dark, damp December day.
I found the top half of today’s Giovanni puzzle more difficult than the bottom, and took a little time to fathom one or two clues, hence my *** difficulty marking.

Morning All! A quite enjoyable solve, I thought, that didn’t take too long at all.
