But I must be grateful for every year! Perhaps I must try and follow the great Araucaria in keeping going despite his work being so much better!

Hope this doesn’t cross with anyone else. Da is Russian for Yes

Today though 15a stumps me. How does Soviet agreement become DA please?

As expected, a fun puzzle even on a Tuesday

Can you please give Gordius a few lessons on how to create good cryptic definition clues?

4a wouldn’t have got rigs =sails
10a Couldn’t think of reap=obtain
27a I guessed lily for the second part but could only think of fast as rapid. Well misdirected.
5d Didn’t know drum =reel or music =reel so failed doubly.
6d May have got this with some crossing letters.

Best wishes setter

I have zero comments today.

And what a nice gesture of Mr Inman to give Dante the Tuesday spot this week as it is his birthday today!
Or is it just coincidence?

Many Happy Birthday wishes, Mr Squires!!
