Times for the Times

Smooth sailing until I was left struggling with 8dn, 3dn and 1ac which fell in that order in 11 minutes. A well crafted QC in my opinion - what’s yours?

Much of this went in smoothly but I had some problems  in the SW corner and became bogged down so that I finished way over my target half-hour. Also I discovered a careless error at 3dn whilst writing the blog.
