Another terrific challenge from Wanderer, thanks to whom, for a pleasurable and delightfully interesting joust. Fantastically cryptic clues liberally sprinkled with a touch of commonplace door-openers as well.

Some quite convoluted clues here. A fun start on a rainy day. Thanks, Artexlen.

Dante on a Monday. Nothing new under the sun. That said, there weren’t that many cryptic definitions this time.

Just assume that nothing in there means what you think it does and you should have no problems… thanks Aardvark!

A slow burner that I eventually enjoyed
Financial Times 15063 by BRADMAN
An intriguing challenge from Bradman, thanks to whom for a busy Friday morning. I got through the right half of the grid pretty quickly but then had to plod through the remainder. 13ac I believe has a typo in the solution and a couple of other clues could have been ‘stronger’ in my opinion. Overall, a satisfactory start to Friday crossword solving!

Good crossword from Mudd, enjoyable as ever (despite an annoying typo in 1ac).

Very nice – a challenge rather than a struggle if you know what I mean. Thanks Redshank.

Financial Times 15,057 by PETO
Greetings from the San Francisco Airport. A relatively straightforward challenge from Peto with a workable-mix of uncommon parsings that kept the interest well alive. Had to confirm the deconstruction for a couple of solutions on google but otherwise a pleasant warm-up kind of puzzle.

Very straightforwardly clued, but with a nice sting in the tail. Nice one, Chalmie.
