Yes obviously, in 2dn. Sorry to be so silly, Crosophile.

Beaten to it by the setter. Definitely time for bed …

Time for bed, said Zebedee … but not before replying to Wil, to say that ‘following’ is surely the definition, rather than just being there for the surface.

@8. Thanks Wil. Much appreciated.
Re 2d, ‘Following’ is the defn for ENSUING

Thanks for the blog, B&J. Hope you enjoy Florence – not to mention Dougal and Zebidee. And thanks for all other comments too.

Very nice puzzle. I have so got into the habit of enjoying Dac on Wednesdays that it originally seemed a bit of a let-down to have someone else, but this was so good that I wasn’t bothered by being Dacless.

Only one slight quibble: ‘Following’ in 2dn, which doesn’t apparently do anything — indeed I think it gratuitously misleads. Just seems to be there for the surface.

Thanks, B&J and Crosophile. Pleasing puzzle – my favourites were NEVERTHELESS, HEARTEN and TANKS.

Thanks for stepping in folks and sorting out our error in the anagram. We’re safely installed in Pisa and leaning towards having a piece of Pisa pizza in the piazza! We’re also thinking of rescheduling our flights home via Madrid etc.

Will amend the blog accordingly.

Ciao folks!
