Most of those that you had difficulty with today employed tricks and/or conventions that are familiar to us old timers.

Please don’t get discouraged: the game gets easier with experience and, of course, this site is a great help to learning.

While still a novice, I did get most of the Saturday and Monday puzzles out but I just wasn’t on the setters wavelength.
1a I was thinking along the lines of plain =bland and suit =hearts, clubs, diamonds or spades.
8a Ironically I didn’t think of partners of being anything to do with cards and had pairs and towns in Cork to mind.
9a I never thought of acceptable=U
11a I don’t recall seeing used as an anagram indicator and went off along the line of char, cleaner etc
18a I was stuck with suit being to do with cards or being a clothing item
20a All I could think of was halt and fire
23a Doesn’t artist’s mean belonging to an artist?
26a For picks up I had lifts, hoists ,raises , erects etc
2d Too clever for me
3d I would never had got bond =charter . I thought of glue or tie
17d I don’t think I’ve come across pimento
19d You name it, I tried it -le, la, un , une, der, die ,das ein ,eine , el , les but not in the correct combination.

Well blogged sir and Bryan I take my hat off to you for considering it a gentle stroll.
