You have helped me a lot this year.
So here is something for you.
If you usually do not do US puzzles, this is a good one.
Syzygy usually puts them up once a month on the other forum.

Thanks, Hankir. Been there, done that - and had great fun with it!

ProfessorMaisie

Thanks hankir - it's a new one on me (I've just downloaded it and it looks very interesting!).

ProfessorMaisie

I enjoyed it very much, thanks hankir.
It's quite an achievement to construct such a fluid narrative with no padding at all (I thought perhaps ''...and watch'' was superfluous, but I think the def for 'hover' could include that).
Only the two Americanisms threw me - 'tire' (the rubber thing) and O for 'orange' (but I might be wrong with that one, because Chambers doesn't have either 'durag' or 'dOrag' and I'm getting my O from OJ Simpson!).
Thanks again, hankir.

Neveracrossword

PM, I was relieved to find Dorag in my ODE - so relieved that I didn't think to confirm the O. I'll have your version, from OJ Simpson, that'll do!

ProfessorMaisie

Thanks, Neveracrossword - I've got a copy and I really should have checked it (sheer laziness). Hope I haven't led you astray with the 'O'.

By the way, for the odd hints here and there, hankir - it's always been a pleasure.

Neveracrossword

PM, thanks. No, I'm not too strict with myself on non-UK crosswords. I reason that there will be variations, usages, that I know nothing about (similar to our R = take, Pi, good and so on.)

Hankir, like PM, it's always been a pleasure to help.

I am glad you liked the puzzle.
They are always fun.
You should try Harpers. I will alert you when it comes out.

In the meanwhile, here is the last one.
