I always enjoy puzzles from Julius. For me they have a consistently high concentration of penny-drop-moments: those jumps from from “WTF is this about?” to “Aha, of course!”. Thank you Julius.

In his new peripatetic state Phi appears on a Wednesday and to my pleasure clashes with me. This was his usual enjoyable crossword, which I found a bit easier than usual: only 11ac and 14ac held me up, and even now I’m not totally comfortable with them.
Apologies for slight lateness of this blog. Computer problems, which are I hope more or less resolved.
Definitions in maroon, underlined. Anagram indicators in italics.

Tricky and fun from Paul, if not quite living up to the surface of 21dn today. Favourites were 8ac, 10ac, 22/26, 13dn, and 21dn
