BD Rating – Difficulty * Enjoyment ***
Well it’s another miserable 2d start to the day here in Harpenden but the forecast says the wet stuff might clear away around 2pm so there is at least a prospect of an hour & half walk before darkness descends.
For those bemoaning the trickier Monday puzzles there’s always a Typically Tuesdayish Anthony Plumb (I assume) production to rely on. Enjoyable as ever and pretty straightforward so I wouldn’t anticipate that it will cause many problems. For those looking for a stiffer challenge I’m sure Whybird would be delighted to hear your thoughts on the Zenas Toughie, which is also very accessible & well worth having a stab at.
As ever there are an assortment of You Tube tunes, sketches & a film clip to view if inclined.
