Another pleasant & pretty straightforward ‘typically Tuesdayish’ puzzle from AP that was maybe a tad easier than yesterday’s Robyn production. Hopefully no mistakes in the hints (which I doubt many will need) as I’m off to the Odyssey cinema in St Albans to see a matinee showing of My Favourite Cake, which I read good things about – though with the sun shining & not too cold I’m rather regretting not having arranged to play golf instead.
In the following hints, definitions are underlined, indicators are mostly in parentheses, and answers are revealed by clicking where shown as usual. Please leave a comment below on how you got on with the puzzle.

Greetings from Ottawa, where – as for many of you around the world – Remembrance Day is being marked today. In addition to today’s ceremony at the National War Memorial, for several days there has been a nightly display of images of poppies dropping down the Peace Tower – each representing a fallen member of the armed forces.
I found today’s puzzle to be at the easier end of the spectrum, though as enjoyable as usual from Robyn.
In the hints below, underlining identifies precise definitions and cryptic definitions, FODDER is capitalized, and indicators are italicized. The answers will be revealed by clicking on the ANSWER buttons.

A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where, oh dear, Santa’s elves have already built a grotto in one of the malls in the city. Thankfully, for the time being, it is being hidden behind temporary curtains but, oh dear again, he is taking up residence in four days time!… Continue reading

As Friday Toughies go this was on the gentle side I thought. Sparks, as he often does, has included a couple of Ninas in the grid (see rows 1&3 and 13&15). Thanks to him.
