Certainly a bit on the gentle side for a prize, but a delight thanks to all the clever clues. Cleverest of them was 25.

Just realised I still haven't figured out the wotdplay for 27a:

i have the answer and I get "places of worship" but have no idea how it's parsed?

Ahh! "flat parts below domes" - I get in now 😃

Why is it that posting a query often immrdiately prompts the answer for oneself? Some deep psychological meaning here?

New here – hi, all!

First prize I completed the day of (or so I think)
Much to like. Favorites include 8d, 23d

Still haven't really parsed 13d – any hints?
Also struggling with parsing for 16d. Does "having downed tools" get me the second word? (If so I may be missing the context of that meaning)
