Hola from Los Alcázares to where I have retreated with a stidkig code id the dose. I recommend you avoid these hints like the plague because they are probably highly infectious. Hopefully not with plague but some sort of Canarian lurgy which pommette picked up in Tenerife and has now generously passed on to me.
Fortunately I don’t think many of you will need the hints today. There are five fairly straightforward anagrams to get you going and a few gimmes as well. Once checkers are in place the other trickier clues will probably fall into place as they did for me. There’s a few smiles along the way and a couple of off the wall definitions so I’ve gone for **** for enjoyment. I have an idea who the setter might be but I’m not saying yet, you all know my record in that area.
