Spectator 2613

Doc is back with another brain-wringing session. I’ve made quite good progress (even with a mild dose of Covid) but there’s one I think I’ve got and would like a second opinion on.

Wandering having gone off (12)

I’m thinking SLEEPWALKING…

TIA

[brainiac]

'Gone off' is another way of saying 'fallen asleep'.

[JJ109]

I agree it is sleepwalking- wandering when you jave gone off to sleep. All the crossers fit!

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking thanks!

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

One more….

All omelettes cooked with pesto and chives, first (8,3)

I have C???L??/S?T (open to change)

TA

Complete set (all)

Anagram of omelettes & p & c

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Sausages…my head’s in the shed today haha

[1581960]

complete set (anagram)

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Phew, finished it! Took me a while to work out the unclued theme, not because I couldn’t see it but we had the same theme fairly recently so I was trying to get all the words to fit something else. 4d convinced me otherwise.

[Boethius]

Yes. To go off, to drop off, is to go to sleep, after which you wander. Nice clue! I’m stuck on 2 unclueds: 2 down M?N?O?T? and 29 across DR?AM. Dream?

[Neveracrossword]

Boethius, Yes to Dream.. The other one is the same name as a fairly well-known town in Wales...

[Krypto]

I'm stuck on unclued 34a - I've got *pones and I'm sure all the letters I've got are correct. Any help will be gratefully received!

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

It’s the clue with 2 words, as mentioned in the preamble.

[Boethius]

Thank you, Neveracrossword!

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Boethius - I feel I didn't offer much in the way of help, just nudging you towards finishing off the puzzle.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Almost. The language in question is LADIN, spoken in the Dolomites, South Tyrol etc.

[PiffPoff]

Forgot instruction to ignore 2 apostrophes. Thanks.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

I’d never heard of “usedn’t” before and I still can’t believe it’s real haha
