Lots of fun and cleverness today – I enjoyed the neatness of e.g. 7dn, 14dn and my favourite 18dn more than the write in, parse quite a bit later 26ac and 1dn. Thanks to Boatman.

Found this very slow going, but ultimately rewarding…
Guardian 26,466 – Rufus (updated from placeholder)
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…
