The consensus seems to be that this puzzle hit just the right note, inventive without being unmanageable. I do not recall seeing your name here before; if you are new to the site, welcome. If not, welcome anyway.

Thanks for the blog notes – very helpful.

But I also know how much I can take before it all starts going fuzzy on me. I’ll be fine in a month or two, but honestly, I should have had a nap between the two puzzles, just to get the brain working again.

In fact I think I’ll have a quick doze before lunch! So it was probably easier than I thought.

This was a joy to solve, with some excellent surfaces which produced more than one smile.

Well done, Orlando.

It’s now a niggle-free crossword for me – thank you, Orlando.
