Solved last week before I left for Sicily. Solved again today as I write this up upon return from Italy – where my only exposure to crosswords, let alone cryptics, was Un Mot Croisee from an old Le Monde uncovered in a café (OK, a bar) in Palermo. Really just sets of definitional clues as far as I could tell. Though the Sudoku was remarkably similar. Even in French.

I thought the blog could do with a lick of paint – hope you like the new look.

The four longest entries in the puzzle were fairly straightforward, so I got off to a flier. I then attacked the rest of the puzzle, and quickly worked out or guessed most of the answers, so that I thought I was going to finish it without referring to Chambers. Unfortunately, there were a few stragglers and I had to resort to the dictionary for the last five or six clues.
