Good day, I played my cards right with Doc’s offering for this week.
It was a gentle grid fill in record time, and without any requests for
help from the AB. I’m thrilled!

klazomaniac

It's not EAR, Try another organ of the head

Tilly2

Thank you. Klaz. Have done all now.

I'll be thumb twiddling for the rest of the evening.

Tilly2

Aye, aye.

klazomaniac

Lol ;-) ;-)

Glad you got there :-)

Krypto

So am I. Some answers were a bit of a gamble though.

Tilly2

I didn't enjoy that as I don't/didn't know many of the unclued ones. That activity was not allowed at home.

klazomaniac

With the exception of 34d, I had a parse for all the answers Krypto.
Glad you got there though :-)

klazomaniac

Surely 15,29 was acceptable Tilly ?
I knew all apart from 11a that I had to look up. Some from old crosswords and some through participation. And one from a B&B I stopped in whilst working in Blackpool many years ago (36a) I had no idea what it meant. The owner told me the meaning. It was a favourite of His.
39 was a regular for me and the lads many years ago. Good times :-)

Klazo, what do you think of this parse for 34d?
Think of using a cat to picture the body. ( I
initially thought of CAT scan.)

klazomaniac

That doesn't make sense to me mate. Not saying it's not the correct parse. I think it's a straight clue to create confusion in a cryptic crossword.

Matakari

Question Author

Ok,I see what you mean here, Klazo. I'll be looking at it again, though.

Thank you, Matakari, for 1A - good hint. Thanks to everyone, but I’m still stuck on 3D About time, ancient stories are often thus REI?L? and 6D Notes about lake-beings, once IA?R?ES.
