Some lovely clues have brought me to the point where I just have to find the third item to illustrate, and I feel a need to rest. Thanks (in advance) Pointer. You have enlightened me and revived...

Another week, another puzzle, another debut. Straightforward and fairly easy. Once the phrase is found everything falls neatly. Thanks D and A (?)...

A rapid grid fiil brings the reward of a visit to the sherry decanter before attempting to make sense of the preamble. It's a risky strategy, but someone has to try it. On reflection, I think I boobed...

Having seen the setter(s) I thought that this would be a real problem. Surprisingly, despite some tricky clues, it all fell into place quite quickly. I notice that these days they omit the instruction...

Having seen that this has a Playcode code, I was intending to put it to one side. Having failed at that, I now find myself within an ace of finishing. Much easier than I expected, but I realise that...

Grid fill is proceding quite quickly and smoothly, especially when compared to last week. However, I know that this will rapidly slow down as I know nothing about either the two adversaries or the...

Rapidly closing in on this having now got over two thirds of the grid filled, but not yet the thematic creation. I particularly liked 23D, but perhaps that's just me. A fun debut (I think). Many...

Making good progress with this. Just got the 10 lines to draw. Lots of thematic material (and lots of fun)

Well, I seem to be almost at the end of this and have yet to decipher the precise quotation although I think I have the gist. Fastest grid fill for some time, so all the more reason to be careful.

Not finished yet, but the grid fill is going smoothly, the theme has been cracked and therefore some reverse solving can take place,but, the rugby is beckoning. Certainly one for beginners and...

To save RR the bother, I will start the thread this week. I haven't finished yet, but with a full and fairly easy grid fill, that just leaves the usual preamble and whatever potential disaster is...

Although I am nowhere near finished, the grid-fill seems fairly straightforward. Despite the very long preamble, I am not expecting any major problems, so please can we try to keep any hints to an...

Lovely whilst it lasted. Definitely one for beginners and newcomers. Sadly, it leaves me without an excuse for Mrs Starwalker's grand garden redesign tomorrow....

Another Friday, another Listener and another new setter (or is it). After a very straightforward grid fill, I shall now retire for a glass of something to consider the preamble. These easy fills are...

A very pleasant and enjoyable debut by Kevin. Some nice clues and a familiar theme which made me realise how quickly time passes. Possibly suitable for newcomers, but personally, I think that 32D is a...

This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...

This week's offering is "Five Dots" by Franc, which feels somewhat reminiscent of one or two of his previous puzzles. More difficult than some of the recent offerings, but sound and...

This week's offering is "The Glady Marsh" by Salamanca. This is only the second Salamanca Listener that I have seen that is not part of his Plays of the Bard series. Another fairly fast grid...

This week's offering is "364 263 by Xanthippe" A straightforward grid fill which now leaves me with the problem of following the instructions, whilst not being an owner of the required...

This week's offering is Metrical Variations by Hedge-sparrow. A typical offering such as we have come to expect from this setter. Some gentle clue and a nice theme. Sadly the final step took me longer...
