BD Rating – Difficulty * Enjoyment ***/****
After a pretty miserable start to the morning it has brightened up nicely here in Harpenden so I might even venture out onto the course this afternoon to see quite how sodden it is.
Today’s Anthony Plumb production wasn’t quite, for me at least, the Quickie pun that I found yesterday’s puzzle. I’d still judge it typically Tuesdayish and as ever it was nicely clued throughout & very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing what others make of it.
Hudson is on duty over in t’other place with his usual delightful & very accessible puzzle to kick off the new Toughie week. Whybird is on jury service so ALP is back in his old slot with, no doubt, an eclectic assortment of tunes.
As usual there is a selection of music to enjoy or ignore.
