Thanks Zinc

@Bren, I’ve been waiting for you to pop in so I could say Happy Birthday! 🥳

Thank you (mystic) Jono, that's much appreciated:-)

Brendan,happy birthday! And are you now stookie-less? If so, I hope your finger's appreciating the freedom.

Thank you very much Malone. I am indeed stookie free, although I do have to still wear a sort of mould that straps around my hand at night time.

Thanks, Brendan. I hope the mould isn't needed for too long.

14a Painting nuts probing unopened case (3,6)
Old master? I can see the unopened case (h)olster but that leaves dma in the middle, which is an anagram of mad (nuts) but there’s nothing to indicate an anagram.

Nuts is mast, inside (f)older.

Strangelybrown, MAST is a term for 'nuts' (acorns) in (h)OLDER

…or (h)older, perhaps is better.
