1. |
There were so many good clues to choose from this month, I ended up with a short list of 15, only one of which (1) I felt I could downgrade to a merit. Of the others, that still left many with the same sort of &lit treatment (17, 18, 21, 29, 43, 44) which I could not easily choose between, so I gave them all one point. In the end, I decided that 7 and 31 stood out for their original treatments and amusing surface readings and voted them first and second, but not quite enough above the pack for the full 5 and 4 points, leaving a handful of points to share between others. So some that I would have been very happy with as my first choice, given less competition, ended up with just half a point! |
