Greetings from Ottawa, where we enjoyed a glorious Sunday under clear skies with the temperature in the mid-twenties. Today is more seasonable with temperatures falling to the mid-teens.
I sped through half the clues at a one-star pace but then bogged down. This may be due, in part, to some British geography and idiomatic expressions with which I was unfamiliar. I expect some solvers across the pond may find my rating to be too high.
I would like to thank Smylers for sitting in for me last week so I could enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving turkey dinner.
