    I struggled with this but I think it's just from solving as soon as I woke up 😂 - after reviewing there's a bunch I think I should've gotten!

      I ran into the character limit above; but I'll add that some of my quibbles may just be due to the 'localised conventions' that I've been introduced to don't overlap with what you've commonly seen. So feel free to ignore any of what I said-hopefully not the compliments though :P

        Very cool!
        The wordplay is great for 4D and 23D; cool surfaces 11A and 26A. Good noun/verb switching in 19A. IMO some definitions could be tightened up (5D, 16D, 18D, does 23A need a '!'). Careful with targeted fodder 17A, and 3D/13A/21D/22A are imo a little sketchy for wordplay
