Morning everyone. There will probably be some sore heads in York today: some from the ale, some from having a go at this beast of a grid from Komornik.

No flowery prose from me today: in the middle of a house move, so technically now ex-LeedsClimber!
Thank you, Umpire for the grid
Independent on Sunday No. 1,856 by Filbert
Filbert occupies his customary slot on Sunday.
Independent No, 12,147 by Raider
If you’re reading this on Saturday morning, then this week’s site issues may have been resolved.
Independent No: 12,117 by Bluebird
Good morning Saturday solvers
A very pleasurable grid from Bluebird to solve, which fell for me first run through.
Independent No. 12,087 by Tack
Good morning everyone.
A grid from Tack today, which on first scan looked to have a Euros football theme, which instantly made my heart sink. I’m with the judge in the famous case when told “Mr Gascoigne is a footballer” replied; “Association or Union”. Well, it’s Union every time surely.
Independent No. 12,057 by Wiglaf
Good morning everyone.
Independent No. 11,997 by Knut
A very nice grid from Knut to kick off the weekend.
Independent No. 11,967 by Wiglaf
Good morning everyone
Solving this grid from Wiglaf and publishing the blog has provided me with a very welcome mental holiday from house moving admin, so I’m doubly grateful for the respite as well as the challenge
Independent on Sunday No. 1820 by Filbert
Good morning everyone.
Do not adjust your set; it’s a double helping of me this weekend. Unless you’ve just woken up to the sound of “I got you babe“, in which case it’s Saturday and you’ve got bigger issues to worry about.
Independent No. 11,937 by Tyrus
A grid from Tyrus to fire up a cold weekend.
Independent No. 11,907 by Quince
Hello everyone….a grid from Quince to solve today.
Independent cryptic No. 11,877 by Methuselah
Good morning fellow solvers
A themed grid from Methuselah, with working out the theme arguably more fiendish than the crossword itself. Never have I been more grateful to be part of the Indy blogging team, who have the pleasure of receiving these a bit in advance of publication!
Guardian cryptic No. 29,522 by Yank
Good morning Guardian solvers. I’m being allowed to come over from the Indy dark side on another guest spot, so I guess my last one wasn’t so heinous.
