We have a fairly gentle challenge from Giovanni today, although there were a couple of common words (12a and 3d) with meanings new to me. Let us have your take on it.

Morning All! My poor work and beer befuddled brain on Saturday morning made this a shade harder than it should have been – in fact I set it aside in favour of a glass of Alka-Seltzer before our second round of golf in Wales that weekend. Having come back to it Wednesday evening I found it much more straightforward and very enjoyable.

Many thanks to Tilsit for standing in for me last week while I was away. I got back yesterday after a week without my daily crossword fix. However, this turned out to be a nice gentle puzzle which was just right for getting the brain back in gear.

If this is the level of difficulty for Wednesday then I won’t be envying Tilsit by the time we get to Friday! I thought that this Toughie was great but pretty hard. Let us know how you got on, especially if you found it a doddle!

Hola from the Vega Baja. This puzzle is living proof that it doesn’t have to be hard to be enjoyable. It’s one of Jay’s easier offerings but I had a great time solving it and there’s quite a lot of blue today!

Thanks to Libellule for covering for me on Friday. I’m reciprocating today which gives me a rare opportunity to review a Rufus puzzle. I thought that this was pretty gentle and rather enjoyable – how about you?
