Hello all. This was my first Ringoe puzzle, but it won’t be my last. I must have been in the zone because it slipped down a treat.

The Independent Friday slot is filled in usual fashion by Phi.
Independent 12,433 by Bluebird
Bluebird is a fairly regular setter in the Indy but I don’t think I’ve blogged him before. The original puzzle is at https://puzzles.independent.co.uk/games/cryptic-crossword-independent/?puzzleDate=20260813

Independent 12,429 by Knut
I cannot believe it’s so long since I have blogged a Knut puzzle – it is over 7 years! (*)
Even then I wrote “I have been waiting for another Knut to appear on my blogging rota for far too long.”
The sentiment persists, as you can guess.

Independent 12,426 / Lark
Lark has provided our cruciverbal entertainment this Wednesday. Unless I am mistaken, as a blogger I have so far had only one previous encounter with this compiler.
Independent 12425 / Deri
It was good to see Deri’s name as the setter for today’s puzzle. I reckon there were 15 clues out of 34 where I had to use three or more colours to indicate the detailed wordplay.
Independent 12,424/Hippogryph
A rather chewy offering from Hippogryph this morning. For this solver, at least.
