Has anyone out there got to grips with this today? I seem to have found the 4 clues detailed in the preamble but cannot even start others. Eg. 7a. Lost stocks of Chinese buns. 4 letters. I have C as first letter and there may be an A as second letter. 13a reads ten thousand to put right figure on totem. I have ??NI?? Any guidance very welcome.

7A is CANG, with G being the letter missing from wordplay. Once you start to highlight a few excluded letters it becomes obvious what,s going on in the grid.

Almost finished apart from the right hand triangle.
Any thoughts on 14D? Is second word MALLOW?

Yes tree mallow

18a definition is break 4-3 is the word count your letters are right

9d letters right it is a charge when a ship is in port

32. Tuple (I checked it in the dictionary earlier, but can't remember the details.)

18. I put Take Ten but can't parse it.
