On The Run - Spoil Away
Two men – one black, one white – shackled at the wrist. In the background, the waxing howl of prison dogs, meaning Wes and Vaughan need to patch their ancient rift, and run as a single animal. That’s the crux of Luminous, my short play playing here. Come see them run.
And for those brave souls still running in the Times challenge, a black-and-white ordeal of a different stripe, then this forum legalises direct blabbing, hardcore begging, verbatim solutions and other conspiracies. So grab your pen and tackle Monday’s 9124, which looks a spritzer.

9125 is pretty breezy, save for the damn aria. In the end I've plunked for La Donna e Nobile but don't quite grasp the midriff.
Liked 13dn a whole lot. The covert def is exquisite.

All quiet on the Times front. This category may have made its dash I'm thinking. Not helped by a less-than-fun puzzle in yesterday's Australian, which is now $1.70.
Rather than a daily chronicle I may opt for a regular digest of Times stuff - the good, the meh and the huh.
Feedback welcome, of couse. And many thanks to all solvers along the way.

I'm happy to keep chattering away to myself, but equally, don't mind if you turn out the lights.
Another option, I suppose, is to go back to spoilerless, but just have daily comments go with the daily post. Could be confusing, sure, but we're all here to be a little puzzled.
Option two is to resurrect the category once you get a decent run going, DA - we can cheer you on and (hopefully not) commiserate.
A couple of sidebar polls - rate today's Times puzzle, 'vote' for breezed through/conquered the rotter/fought gamely/got totally lost?

I figured out Thursday's without too many grey hairs or bottlenoses, on my flight to Brisbane. Had never heard of the flower...thankfully the lady next to me new!
