Last one, 29a ?E?S?N Shrink,talking, for example. I often struggle with which way round this should be. Is it 'lessen' or 'lesson' ?

lessen
The definition should be at the beginning or end of the clue. Not a very good one in my opinion. There was no homophone indicator.

Thanks rossim, I was undecided.

I was not at all happy with this clue,as a clear case can be made for either answer.

As pointed out the clue def: is usually the beginning or the end,in this case i think the deff is example and the answer is lesson.parsed as sounds like lessen.

It will be interesting to see the answer in the morning,not a fan of this type of clue,being a true pedant.

Yes, I had second thoughts after posting. To set an example is to give a lesson, I suppose. Not my favourite sort of clue either.
