I was just curious to know if you agreed with my parsing of what is, I agree, an unusually constructed clue.

Indeed I should have spotted LIFT = NICK, but I doubt I would have thought of CG for the little weight, or realized it was LEG inside CG rather then something inside LEG which the wordplay more strongly suggested to me.
I don’t regard blogging as a thankless task, but I do often struggle to find something new to say.

I understand it’s an unpaid and often thankless task but still….

I think it’s NICK (lift, as in steal) + LEG (member) inside (carrying) CG (centigramme – little weight)
