      Fantastic, smooth solve as always. 30-Across was mindblowing

        Thank you! I worked hard on 30A so I’m glad you like it :)

        Solving on paper. This is a fine cryptic. 2/3 completed and I must tell you: 1) in 30 A I haven't seen that long of that type of wordplay ever. 2) Loved the clueing for 21 D. Really, really enjoying the solve. Kudos and thanks!
