I haven’t done a cryptic crossword for some months. My continuing arm problem has meant that sitting at a table holding a pen for any length at time was not advisable. And my brain doesn’t seem to work as well when it is my left hand holding the pen! But this morning I thought my arm might be sufficiently improved to try it. And the brain cooperated too. I solved it quickly (for me, it is all relative!), without having to cheat at all!
