Even by Tuesday standards I’d rate today’s puzzle on the gentle side so I doubt it will detain many for long. Much like yesterday it was all over a bit too quickly but was nevertheless a pleasant & enjoyable solve. The only real head scratch was twigging the synonym for the 3rd word in the Quickie pun. I’ve not looked at it yet but I see that Chalicea is today’s setter over in t’other place so if she’s true to form that will be an entertaining & accessible puzzle.
