Thanks Ozpiper, lots to enjoy here including some inventive (and sometimes close to the wind!) devices. So 9a’s reverse engineer with a twist was new to me- bit like a googly in cricket, admired by bowlers but considered a ‘wrong’un’ by those facing it! I’m with the bowler here 😄 Took me a moment to ok the ‘roughly’ in 11a but I liked it when I did. Other picks were 1a, 15a, 25a, 27a, 4d and 20d. Some near misses too…
