Enjoyed this, getting stuck several times after a quick start. Particularly liked 21ac, 25ac, and 8dn. Thanks, Paul.

Lovely stuff from Paul, and a couple of new words that went in confidently enough at the end. Favourite 19dn.
Guardian 26,526 by Rufus
Good fun from Rufus – I was more on his wavelength for the cryptic defs than usual. Favourite was 5dn.

Lots of fun and cleverness today – I enjoyed the neatness of e.g. 7dn, 14dn and my favourite 18dn more than the write in, parse quite a bit later 26ac and 1dn. Thanks to Boatman.

Found this very slow going, but ultimately rewarding…
Guardian 26,466 – Rufus (updated from placeholder)
Due to some nasty delays at the airport I won’t be able to blog until 2pm (UK) or so, but discuss away!
Blog now updated – thanks for the comments, and the good wishes.
Found this both easier and more fun than usual for Rufus, most likely because I was, for once, on the right wavelength for most of the many cryptic and double defs. Favourites were 13dn and 21dn…
