A strange crossword today, with a real mixed bag of clues. Some good, some average, some poor and one that don’t seem to work at all. For some reason I feel underwhelmed.
If you have trouble working out the the answer from the hint just highlight the space between the curly brackets.

The crossword today seems slightly trickier than normal, but there are plenty of clues to get you started. No particular clues stood out and on the whole it seemed to lack Rufus’ normal wit. Please leave a comment and let us know what you think.
If you cannot get the answer from the hint just highlight the space between the curly brackets.

Normal service seems to have been resumed. After last weeks very straightforward crossword, we return to about the standard I expect on a Monday. Some lovely clues and surface readings, just what we expect from Rufus. My favourite clues – 25a and 11d.

I don’t expect any of you to be in the Clueless Club today! This gets one star for difficulty. Still quite a fun crossword though.
As normal, if you do not know the answer, you can reveal it by highlighting the space between the curly brackets.

Once again I don’t expect many of you to need the blog, but for some reason I found it a bit harder to write the blog than normal. Some of the silky smooth readings cleverly hide some of the word play, and I needed Gazza to dig all of it out properly. (I hope).
The full answer can be found hidden between the curly brackets

A bit more difficult than normal? Or was it just me who had to look up and check 2d? Regardless, its still the usual entertaining stuff from Rufus.

An enjoyable solve, but not overly complicated. Although some of you may disagree.
If you are unable to derive the answer from the hint, just highlight the space between the curly brackets.

This is the first time I have blogged a Tuesday crossword, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am pretty sure (even though 27a is (6,5)) that this is one of Ray T’s. Gazza informs me that today’s Toughie is easier than the normal cryptic. So today is probably a good day to have a go at the Toughie as well.
If the hint is not enough to give you the answer – highlight the space between the curly brackets.

A very gentle start to the week. I don’t expect many of you to make use of the blog today!
