This was another excellent puzzle from Bluth with lots of inventive clues.

Independent on Sunday 1,833/Filbert
It’s Sunday in Crosswordland. Everyman in The Observer, Filbert in The Independent on Sunday. Life is good.

The puzzle is available to solve online or download here.
Independent 12,014 by Phi
Phi on a Friday – we return to normality!
Independent 12,013 / Deri
Deri has provided the Thursday crossword this week. I think that this is the first time that I have encountered this compiler.
Independent 12012 / Eccles
We know to expect a very good crossword when we see Eccles named as the setter.
Independent 12,011 by Mev
One of our less frequent setters, but one I’ve enjoyed on previous appearances.
Independent 12,010/Bluejacket
I think this might be a debut (in the Indy at least) for Bluejacket, in which case, welcome to him or her.
Independent 1832 by Filbert
Thank you to Filbert. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
Independent No. 12,009 by Amoeba
This is the first Amoeba puzzle I have blogged.
I was expecting it as they(*) have appeared in the Saturday slot before.
Independent 12,008 / Mog
Unusually, Mog is occupying the Friday slot today, with a puzzle which, for me at least, was towards the higher end of the Indy difficulty spectrum.
Independent 12007 / Twin
Puzzles by Twin are appearing monthly in the Independent cryptic series at the moment.
Independent 12,006 by Eccles
Eccles is back in his usual Wednesday slot this week, which means he’s found me blogging again . . .

Now we really are confused – Phi on a Tuesday? Is someone playing an April Fool on us?
