Very nice surfaces overall, and some entertaining wordplay - especially the skillful use of Exa and Anon!<br /><br />I share DG's question about the source of D in 1d. Also, the reciprocal definitions [dolls for toy and toy for doll(y)] in 8a and 11a, which have a crossing letter in common, were a bit surprising - or is it part of a theme I am missing?<br /><br />Thanks to DG for the blog.Abhayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198192791769284895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-29225374794404388782015-05-11T10:02:50.714+05:302015-05-11T10:02:50.714+05:30Thank you AD for your samosas.
