This was by far the easiest Azed I've ever done- completed in no time, sans laptop, with just a peek or two at Chambers. Since there isn't an active thread I assume that everyone else found it unchallenging too. I've only been doing this puzzle for a few years, and am wondering whether this kind of "light" installment is unprecedented.
I, too, thought it was a lot easier than usual. Quite enjoyable though. My only question-mark was in 4dn. There's an "re" in the answer that I can't see in the clue's wordplay.
