Iam stuck on a few here, can someone please
help?

Spanish dance t?n?a??a
heavily decorated - I thought this was ornate but not
fitting in as I think the letters are o?d?t?

Thanking you

[sarumite]

Are your letters correct? The Spanish dance may be "fandango"

[JMR27]

Fandango is correct as is ornate (42a is nestling)

[poorclare]

Thank you both. I see now I was wrong in putting extinct
instead of defunct as for ornate that appears right but
I am now looking for a young bird N?C?L?N? I had
put duckling but that knock ornate out.

Sorry about this

[poorclare]

oops see nestling thank you

Thank you and Good luck

Its a beautiful day so Iam off to post this x-word

[poorclare]

ah nestling can't be right n?c?l?n?

[sarumite]

Enjoy the rest of your day, ......... just wish that the weather was as good in my neck of the woods!

[sarumite]

I don't have your paper but wonder if the "c" is correct in your pattern? What is the clue for this?

[poorclare]

word going down for world or universe COSMIC
am I wrong in this ?

[sarumite]

It may be Cosmos

[JMR27]

cosmos is correct

[poorclare]

ah! thank you, I photocopy my crosswords so I had
not written it in.

Am going to enjoy this warm sunny day, may be the
last we get for awhile.
