I appear to have been the main beneficiary of Tilsit’s hospital appointment in that I get to blog today’s enjoyable and challenging puzzle rather than yesterday’s offering which was just about the easiest Toughie I have ever done. The main challenge in today’s puzzle arose from a number of unfamiliar answers. Fortunately they were all easily deducible from the wordplay (with the possible exception of ancient Iraq and the avian projections). Apologies for the slight delay in posting this blog but I’ve just had a hard morning playing table tennis.
