Forgot I hadn't finished this, and left with a couple of odd looking answers- often a clue I have done something wrong.
43a. What's prior up to, cooking stew? (9) W-T-O-R-I
Also 49a. Miss lacking power to go uphill? Probably not! (3) R-I
I think the longer clue is something I do not know, but the short one will irritate me when I find out what it is.
As ever, any help gratefully accepted.

Potpourri
Ski(p)

PS Potpourri is an anagram, prior up to.

Many thanks. It never crossed my mind that 43d could have been the problem. I had dismissed the anagram thing unless it was stew for the w, and 43 sat a bit uncomfortably.
