Just got started -- time zones & work. GK has probably finished. (-;

Two stars for 35D. If you're not sure, look up "decree nisi".

Brilliant !

GK is stuck on 2 1/2 down in the SW corner after 3 hrs (insomnia): now it's back to bed though--visibility is so extraordinary must be off to the mountains with guest today! Good luck syzygy!

I have just discovered a glaring error in my plan to do the JE on holiday -- we have not got a printer here--might be able to pick a cheap one up from the supermarche later

Hi GK
I'm probably missing the same 2 1/2 in the SW (though I suspect I have the 1/2) I'm also stuck in the west, including your 17dn, 22ac and not at all confident about 17ac

Several others that may be wrong, as I don't see the parsing.

Just finished, and those were also my last three, chrise, with 17a one of my question marks. 17d is a real 'doh' moment when you get it, but possibly slightly unfair in the cluing?
It seems to me that 10d could be one of two answers, one letter different, and as that letter isn't a crosser It's difficult to know which it should be. Or am I missing something?

Hi bullfrog
When I was working out 10dn, I did come across two spellings through Google, but I'm sure the "A" is a misquote - the area is definitely not an "A"!

No - I meant two different towns, both hurricane-free, differing at the fourth letter.

You are quite right, bullfrog - I hadn't noticed that at all. My apologies!

P.S. the word I was given was the one with the consonant.

And is it had been the "a" one I would have been.....what's the reverse of prescient?
