A lovely little puzzle from Orense today. Nothing very difficult, but plenty of wit and variety; all in all, a nice way to spend a sunny ten minutes. Or maybe I’m just in a good mood because I got a cheque in the morning post and my A-Level results days are a long way behind me.

It’s five months since I blogged a Boatman puzzle and I commented then that we don’t see him often enough. There have been only two in between, so that’s certainly true!

When you have a Nimrod puzzle to solve or to blog, you know you are in for a challenge, and true to form, he has not disappointed today. For me, more so with Nimrod than with any other compiler that I can think of, I often solve nothing on my first read-through, and then grind away at the puzzle slowly and patiently. Invariably, I solve shorter entries first, moving on to longer entries – with the help of 8, of course! Perhaps because I am on holiday and not in my usual state of fatigue, I cracked this one more quickly than the average Nimrod teaser, although I am not sure that I have parsed all the solutions wholly correctly – any improvements would be gratefully accepted!

Monday Prize Crossword/Aug 8
In a day and age that not everyone seems to appreciate Dante, I can only say that I liked this crossword very much.
