Hello
all. I found this an entertaining and somewhat educational Jumbo, with
some lovely wordplay and an eclectic mix of general knowledge - some of
which was beyond my ken, but the wordplay was generously helpful when
needed. There was one that defeated me, though, and I had to resort to
aids for my LOI. That the puzzle contains no less than 2 semi-&lits
and 1 &lit bears witness to the level of cleverness on display here.
Nothing too hard, though, as I finished in less than 40 minutes. I
enjoyed the death of DIOGENES, the motmot bird in the wordplay for
TOMATO, LEARNING, BREVIARY and the French letter, but my favourite was
the clue for ONGOING. What fun! So thanks to our setter for a lovely
crossword to solve and to blog. How did you all get on?
