I just noted in an email that I have collected a wealth of material that is resolutely refusing to turn into a crossword despite a degree of lexical suitability. I think that may be what is making it difficult to think of anything specific to say – turning the stuff over and over to see if an idea drops out uses up an amount of brainpower. Admittedly said brainpower is also engaged in assimilating Oppenheimer, even two days after seeing it. I can recommend going to an early showing; less enamoured of the IMAX format (though we were in the [supposedly] comfy seats far too close to the screen).
The puzzle this time is a daily from 2019. What’s coming up: apart from the usual Friday appearances in The Independent, there’s a Times puzzle on 26 July.
Back in a fortnight. Might have seen Barbie by then…
