Araucaria is on form today

Hello AJT - just starting after completion of telegraph puzzles - so far I have filled in the right half of the grid. Have a good day!

I am sudokulover as well as "s"!

Thank yoou s - that's just made life easier!

9a Could be weeping at prospect of debt being endless (6) ....could it be willow?
13d septic tank mostly mentioned in 24 down: no regrets then?(10) A?????A??? (24d is card)
8a time in its entirety? (8) ?T??????
Any help please.

Hi xwordman.

8a. I see that eternity is an anagram of 'entirety'.

Thank you jimC - I must be blind today!

13d ac(ceptanc)e - ceptanc sounds like sep tank inside ace (one in a suit of cards)
yes to willow

All done now. Agree with you AJT a "very nice" puzzle all round!

Completed but not much enjoyed. Too many obscure references requiring dictionary, e.g. 3, 14, 19, 22,& 25. 13dn has to be the worst homophone I can remember. And what does refained mean? On the positive side 18dn was a good clue.
It looks like I'm going to find the FT more fun for the third Saturday running.
