I'm really struggling to get anywhere & have only solved a few clues.

Can someone please help with the first two across clues to kick-start me?
1a High point for Spanish laziness (6)

5a Insects arise awkwardly, plump near the middle (8)

Isoptera. Anagram of "arise" and "opt" for plump.

1, Tor por.

Thanks Rusty

Quite a devilish puzzle today!

Is that a hint in there SL ?

if I may answer for sdkl, YES! But does anyone see the connection between the title & the theme?

Possible link is an anagram of the second word of the title and the eighth word of the saying.

hi Greedy kite

Can you confirm please-
34a Boudoir
20d Tholobate

Thanks -rosie

Tholobate is correct.
34a is Dortour.
