A breeze of a puzzle, this one, really, but still, a pleasant diversion on a rather bleak morning in England. One or two clues didn’t quite satisfy, but all-in-all no real grumbles – thank-you, Peto.

Monday Prize Crossword/May 13
An enjoyable Dante puzzle which confirmed his love for cryptic (and double) definitions. About half of the clues fell into that category. And then there was 15ac. Just two weeks ago I failed on the very same word. Not this time though. Won’t get fooled again

This looked daunting at first, with only scattered solutions on the first pass. But it got better as quadrant by quadrant was completed. After the last Gaff I blogged, where I couldn’t identify the theme, I resolved not to repeat the failure. And this time I did spot the theme, partly because it is more internationally known, and more easily spottable. Thanks to Gaff for the enjoyment. Definitions are underlined in the clues.

An outstanding puzzle today from Alberich, by turns fiendish, witty, inventive and fun. The glut of highbrow allusions – Gerontius? Idomeneo? Borodin? – did make me blanch at first, but once I made a start I found nothing to complain about, and plenty to enjoy. Thanks, Alberich.

Armonie may not be the hardest of setters, his clues however are consistently concise and elegant. Nice and gentle crossword.

This was an enjoyable puzzle to solve and to blog. There is a scientific mini-theme, especially of particle physics (and a bit of biology and chemistry), in the answers and clues, plus a couple of non-scientific/unscientific Biblical references. Thanks to Phssthpok. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]
