My apologies. This is dreadful. I’m standing in for today and it completely slipped my mind until late in the morning. Then I had trouble with the software and after almost completing the crossword it froze on me and I had to start all over again. But I’ve at least just about finished (the ones I’m unsure about I hope I’ll manage as I finish this off, or at any rate you will I’m sure help me with). To make it worse, I was very slow to finish this since I had MINICAB at 5dn.
