Turnstone has the Quiptic for us this week. Nothing too much to frighten the horses here, I fancy, which is as it should be.

It’s very sad to think this will be the last Filbert I get to blog.
Everyman 4,172
What has now become a typically good and sound Everyman crossword with generally nice surfaces. Some of the answers are quite easy to find, so I think he is becoming more user-friendly for those who are not yet all that familiar with things.
Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green.
Azed 2784
This puzzle was published in the Observer on the first Sunday of October, so that means it is an Azed puzzle rather than a Gemelo puzzle.
