I found this satisfyingly challenging. LOI 16a. Nice rhyming pair. Some pleasing clues: 12a 13a but the standout COD for me was 9a to which the solution evaded me for quite a while.
As usual, I’ve completed it but there’s one I can’t parse: 16d. As I write this, I’ve just got it. Very clever. Thanks Everyman for a great puzzle today!
