And tributary to the river Tay.

Quite a few people have said that Printer's Devilry suits them, but : "After Our dinner I can wash up dear, or I dry, superbly..." For goodness sake, where, what, why - 'superbly' ; "Surfboard friction gets the blister I see aching..." ? The prose what I wrote is sadly lacking...and blisters don't ache. They may smart, be sore, be painful, but they don't ache.
Could do better, Dragon.

Thanks, dja. I haven't been impressed with some of the clues. Isn't it the best man who has the ring for the wedding and who might mislay it, and not the groom? And I think it should have been signalled that "catch" was the definition for an American usage elsewhere.

it seems to me that the grammar of the reconstituted 14 is/are a bit iffy, or am I over-pedantic ?

[I remember a panel game in which Frank Muir was asked to distinguish the meanings of "meticulous" and "pettyifogging". He said that the difference is that my solicitor is meticulous but your solicitor is pettifogging]

Have persevered and thanks to help above am left with 2.
35a looks like the sentence contains an island but can't get what comes after ( pri...ed)
28d
Any help appreciated

I have seven letters in 35 across ending in "age" if that helps (and if it is correct!).

Notrab, yes I have the G. I can only fit in 2 words but neither seems to make sense. I assume we insert caPRI-AGEd with the - being an M or a V, Capri may be a red herring though

Bambi - check your dictionary again - there are 2 words listed but not one with a V
