Got there in the end. Didnt mind it. The wordplay was obvious so just took a while thinking of words

2 under. Was stumped initially (ha) but then had a flash of inspiration.
I wish these were harder on some days.

I went and tried the (non quick) Guardian cryptic.
Yeah, hard clues are demaoralising.

I used to do it every day, 25 years back, and could usually get at least halfway, very rarely complete it. Had a look at today's, and could get 6 clues - maybe would have got more if I'd had the time, but not much more.
In contrast, this week's Minute Cryptics have taken about 5 seconds combined. Graun cryptic is something you really need to do for a while to get into the headspace. And accept they will often use words you have never heard before or will again.
My tip for today: don’t do this stupid puzzle game at 12:10 when you just got in from the pub.
Am going to start using a notepad to help work it through rather than diving in.
