Solving time : OK - I'll admit. I'm in no state to be solving or blogging and it's showing through - 1 hour and 5 minutes later I'm being told I have a correct solution, which is a minor woohoo moment, but I'm not quite sure how. I had to load the grid three times and this blog twice.

I'm going to finish this and pass out, so any corrections/edits/sober thoughts are likely to be found in the comments.

And away we go...
