BD Rating – Difficulty * Enjoyment ***/****
Well if yesterday was a good bit trickier than usual today’s Anthony Plumb (I assume) production was, as Senf would say, Typically Tuesdayish. Fun for the short time it lasted & as ever concisely clued throughout. I have to dash off for golf so hopefully no mistakes & unlike last week, when I needed my trusty phone a friend option (today’s Toughie setter) to unravel Anthea’s mysteries, all of the parsing was straightforward too. Do give Shabbo’s puzzle over in t’other place a whirl – it’s very gentle & good fun.
As usual there is a selection of music to enjoy or ignore.
