Hmmm - well since LiveJournal now lets us do posts in advance, let's try it out. Greetings from the past with the blog of Mephisto 2695. A crossword where I had one massive headsmack moment, as I couldn't figure out 24 for a long time until I realised it was an Azed competition clue (I entered a clue, but it didn't get anything). Anyhoo I was pretty well on Tim Moorey's wavelength here, and a lot of answers went in from wordplay with a little question mark but I think they're all in place now

Away we go!
