Found this tough but fun, with 1ac, 11ac and 20/27 my favourites. Thanks Qaos.
Guardian 26,487 by Nutmeg
A fun challenge from Nutmeg today, with some lovely surfaces and a nice mini-theme. Favourites 19ac and 17dn.
Guardian 26,480 by Chifonie
A quick, enjoyable solve with very tidy clueing throughout. Favourites 25ac and 1dn. Thanks, Chifonie.

Found this very slow going, but ultimately rewarding…
Guardian 26,466 – Rufus (updated from placeholder)
Due to some nasty delays at the airport I won’t be able to blog until 2pm (UK) or so, but discuss away!
Blog now updated – thanks for the comments, and the good wishes.
Found this both easier and more fun than usual for Rufus, most likely because I was, for once, on the right wavelength for most of the many cryptic and double defs. Favourites were 13dn and 21dn…

Really enjoyed this…
Guardian 26,457 by Arachne
An extremely pleasant surprise to see Arachne again. 22ac my favourite of an excellent bunch. Happy New Year, all.

Guardian 26,444 by Brummie
Enjoyed this, getting through most of it quickly before hitting some new words…
Guardian 26,437 by Rufus
A pleasant Monday solve from Rufus. I liked 5ac, 13ac, 27ac and 7dn.
Guardian 26,435 by Crucible
Tricky fun from Crucible today…
Guardian 26,428 by Boatman
This was a tricky and sometimes frustrating solve, but with plenty of cleverness to enjoy along the, ahem, way. Quite a few answers were filled in from crossers + definition and parsed afterwards, 4ac was a new word and my last in. Favourites were 19ac/dn, 8dn and 21 dn.
Guardian 26,421 by Qaos
Plenty to like here, with lots of cunning misdirection and nice surfaces. Most favourite was 29ac.
Guardian 26,414 by Pasquale
On the easy side for Pasquale, but with nice cluing and a few obscure words as usual…
