A very nice Toughie from Zandio today that didn’t keep me up too long last night, it didn’t seem much tougher than his Friday back pager but your experience may differ. He popped into Friday’s blog to tease 27a and I appreciate the name check 1a 14d and 25a can join the 4-way fight for the podium for me
I have hinted half of 14a and 14d clues today and hope you find the checkers to fill the lights. A bonus nudge may be available if my day out with Mama Bee permits internet access
Here we go…
