Apologies, but here I am again, standing in for Mr K who is under the weather.  Get well soon.

I found this a bit of a head scratcher, but looking back, progress was actually quite steady, if a bit on the slow side.  Of course this is nothing to do with an evening out last night with my brother and son around the wonderful pubs of historic St Albans.

I thought this was a lovely Friday puzzle, with ticks throughout.  1a was a great way to start and gets my CoD today, just beating 10a.

In the blog below, the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED and the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the “Click Here” buttons.  Please leave a comment telling us how you got on and what you thought of the puzzle.  Please also try to be positive – it’s only a bit of fun.

Many thanks to our setter and the DT Crossword Team.
