A fairly tough week here, I think. I made a reasonably sprightly start, but soon had to reach for the dictionary. There are some cracking words in there, all the same. 14dn has me a little puzzled still.

This was an interesting solve. I started off very smoothly indeed, thinking this would be an “easy” week, but ground to a halt about halfway through, and eventually had to adopt a very liberal interpretation of the concept of cheating just to finish the thing! 16dn still needs clarification, if readers fancy helping out.

I’d hesitate to say this was an especially easy week for Beelzebub, but I did manage to complete the puzzle unaided, in one sitting, which is something of a rarity. It would be interesting to hear how other solvers found this.

Apologies that this one seemed to fall through the cracks. Whilst interest may have passed, here it is for completeness.

A slightly rushed post as I’m fairly late with this. One that I’m not sure about at 1dn.

This felt like a relatively mid-paced week, but a handful took quite some effort to explain. 10ac still has me beaten, so I’ve reproduced the clue in the hope that a passing reader may be able to elucidate.

This generally went quite smoothly, though I did have to check 29ac and 8dn before being confident enough to write them in. A careless slip at 30ac made 27dn unsolvable until my mistake was rectified.
