Never knowingly undersolved
A nice crossword from Eimi, nothing too demanding but everything quietly satisfactory; except for the definition in 26dn, which I am a little unsure of. There seems to be a preponderance ot the words ‘ref’ or ‘referring to’ in the blog, for which I apologise.
Definitions underlined, in maroon. Anagram indicators in italics.
A great work-out from Crosophile today. It was only when we wrote up the blog that we realised there is a theme here (although we do expect one in a … Read more >>

A nice mix of clues I thought, nothing too plain and nothing too flash. Thanks Tees.

It was none too easy, but once one knows the answers it all fits in well (with the exception in my case of 4dn, which I still don’t really get — but I do now, thanks James and WordPlodder, good clue).
Definitions underlined, in maroon, and anagram indicators in italics.

A themed puzzle which I found easy to start but extremely tough to finish.
It must be several months since a Peter puzzle turned up on blogging day, so this was a pleasant change. A good enjoyable puzzle, if not too challenging. I generally raced through it, … Read more >>
It’s been a while since I blogged a Punk, a long-time favourite setter of mine, and no doubt of many others. I made a brisk start this time, but slowed considerably after a … Read more >>
As always with Phi, everything perfectly simple and sound once it’s done, but not before, when there seem to be so many possibilities. Enjoyable.
Definitions in maroon, underlined. Anagram indicators (not that there are many) underlined.
