I VE tried a couple of times to contact you all but clumsiness defeated me. Here’s another go. First and most important, I hope you are all well. Funny times but to put them in context, I am reading “ Life and Fate” by Vasily Grossman. Brilliant book!! Now there’s suffering!

To the Crossword. I found it quite hard and only managed “ ten green bottles” when I had all the cross letters. Clever clue but obscure!
Two that I think I have the answer but can’t work out why are:
35 d Supporter tipping out hot drinks,.
From the letters I have, the answer seems to be scaffolding which could be ‘supporter’ . But I don’t get the rest.
37ac Top cake’s back with fewer calories . Again, with letters I have ‘ elite’ fits and that is the top bit. But the rest?

Mamya, thanks for the 35 A parsing. I stuck the answer in yesterday, but didn't see where it came from!
Yes, a crafty use of 'drinks' threw me for a while too.
