Well, here goes with my first blog. I picked up my Independent with some trepidation but as soon as I turned to The Inquisitor and saw that it was by Phi, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. I find Phi’s cluing to be reasonably fair most of the time and this was no exception. I was also all geared up for some July 4th US Independence theme but ’twas not to be.

Plenty of bread and butter stuff, including a liberal sprinkling of double definitions in the downs. I think I was fortunate in that I had pretty much instant recall of the handful of obscurities tucked away in the clues (e.g. in 11A or 6D).

A puzzle in the offbeat style I associate with Morph who I had the pleasure of meeting at Sloggers and Betters 5 back in May. Solving time, 29 mins.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of July 4
Here is another fairly easy but delightful puzzle from Cincinnus. I especially liked 28A, 20D and 22D.
