What a pick-me-up for a grim, wet and windy Monday morning! – I get my fifth Brendan blog in a row and [fortunately, after my discomfiture on Saturday] I saw the nina fairly early on [although there was momentary consternation when the first two unlikely letters of 4dn emerged - but there wasn't a mistake, after all].

I think this is the second crossword from Rorschach for the Independent. His first was well-received, and this too was in my opinion a very good puzzle: there was plenty of inventive cluing with some lovely light touches. If he can continue to produce this standard of puzzle, he will be a most welcome addition to the Indy team. There is – comme d’habitude – one clue I can’t explain.

I found this, in parts, trickier than the usual Quiptic, taking longer to complete as a result. But no complaints, and thank you to Nutmeg. My COD was the very clever 13down. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose comments about them in double brackets.]]
