Done by 7.45 this morning (Sunday).
All in my own head - no cheats, no lookups.
Now sealed ready for mailing, so under my own rules I can come onto this forum.
Odd mixture of hard and obvious this week. 12d is the only one I feel vague about, but it can only be what I've entered and I think I know what it means (classical). 35d hardly passes the test for a 'cryptic' clue, unless I've missed some really ingenious parsing.
Also done the Codeword and Soduko (not all the big one yet); and played Scrabble with grandchildren yesterday; so Altzheimer's still not too bad, in spite of increasing short-term memory indications to the contrary.

Well done and good luck, Quixote!

Thanks, rusty.

(I'm pretty rusty too - I'm a retired blacksmith.)

Good man!

I reckon it's all that seafood you have been consuming ;)) nudge nudge

Good grief! I've written 'Soduko', and it's 'Sudoku' - the shame, the shame.........

...least, I think it's 'Sudoku'....isn't it?
