Just want to say I find some of the clues this morning strokes of genius, esp. compared with what we've seen lately: e.g. 19a, 1,2,3 & 15d (don't want to spoil it for the others).Is this "guy" Qaos new? Must look him up.

Hope you had a good day, Chris. Do you live near York? Here it was 44° on our terrace this evening!

...and did you realize (I didn't) there's a blog site on the G. puzzle every day immediately under it? Opinion somewhat split today on Qaos, but majority found it pretty good, I think.

Hi greedy kite,
About an hour's drive to York. We had a very good day - sunny, even!

I do look at the blog sometimes, usually when I have some kind of grievance!
