Today’s Giovanni is not the most difficult that we’ve had, and there are a few old chestnuts (but there are always new solvers coming along so they won’t be old chestnuts for everybody). Let us know what you thought of it in a comment.

This has been an upside-down week for me with regard to the Cryptics. In a reversal of the usual order of things I found Monday’s Rufus to be the most difficult and today’s Giovanni to be the easiest (I don’t expect everyone to agree!). But, easy or not, I did enjoy today’s puzzle – let us know what you thought in a comment!
