Many thanks to Gaufrid for standing in at very short notice.

I actually made a few notes when I had completed this one. A month is a long time to remember ones thoughts.

I am full of admiration for the ingenuity displayed by the setters of the Genius crosswords and enjoy them, but I was disappointed with this one. Knowing which letter was missing from the full solution made the puzzle much easier than many weekday offerings.

I was only challenged by a few words and definitions which needed to be confirmed by Chambers: sondeli, arryish, … all of which were easily solvable from the subsidiary parts of the clue plus the missing letter.

25 was the only one which taxed me. I had not heard of Michael Innes and really didn’t think that minnies could be Scottish mothers. Thank you, Google and Chambers.

I did enjoy the mental picture of someone playing the NOSE LUTE and wondered if the ROUHAHAS disturbed the Australian bush. :-)
