Nothing pant-wettingly exciting here, but a nice vein of humour running through some of the clues, which raised a few smiles. Please excuse the slightly late blog (again). While the FT have certainly improved the legibility of their online puzzles recently, the pages themselves no longer seem to be posted earlier enough for a pre-bedtime solve by those of us in the western colonies.

Maybe not as fiendish as some Thursday puzzles, but still tricky – I’m still in the dark about 10ac. Some lovely clues today, especially 13dn and 11ac.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of July 11
I enjoyed this puzzle from Cinephile. Had to look up a couple of words (CUMAE and PRETERITE). I particularly like 1A, 14A and 24-26A.
