xps Intrigue
The usual wondering whether, in all seriousness, there might be a themed session in it later on.
Town was very quiet, took a spin in at 9am to get her laptop from work. Most coverage acknowledging that it's genuinely serious and little to no moaning about cancellations and travel restrictions, which given our national character is telling enough
