| Nothing REALLY grabbed me this month. I think I was in a post-Glaswegian frame of mind, subconsciously in diving or gymnastics mode: some had high degrees of difficulty but were not quite executed smoothely enough; others were pot on but just too simple. This applied especially to the multiple definition clues which I have to admit I don't much enjoy unless there is some wonderful distraction (and at least a mischievous and disguised switch of verb-adjective-noun or whatever. Too many of the longer clues had moderate surface engagement. I gave my to score to 28 (where I could genuinely say "I wish I'd written that"), and probably underscored it as I ended up giving points to more clues than I ever have before. Maybe that's more Glaswegian influence… |
