I felt like Piet Mondrian when I'd finished this,

When it came to the highlighting, I could feel Brendan's presence hovering over my coloured pencils...

I'm glad my spectre was in attendance Malone. As soon as I read the preamble and saw the reference to shading I knew I was in for a treat.

I've been busy today so have had put it aside until Monday. This works out well as a work such as this deserves a new set of colouring pens, which I can pick up from the craft shop tomorrow.

No doubt I'll be back here periodically looking for help, the switching of some definitions sounds particularly tricky.

Thnaks, Brendan - and I know you like any excuse to treat yourself to new colouring pens!

I found the puzzle much easier than anticipated, but then again I tend to not bother with pesky stuff such as definitions, wordplay and so on - an answer is an answer to me. I had the occasional shrug, lifting of an eyebrow, but nothing to slow me down too much.

Thanks to Luxor for an entertaining, ultimately colourful (and not too taxing) puzzle. I too thought how much this would appeal to Brendan! And it caused me to reflect for a moment on just how many such odd couples there are….
