    Very nice! I almost managed to get it 😊. Can you explain how PARSEC works? That's the only one I still don't get

      It’s a charade clue. To avoid a spoiler, I’ll DM you on Twitter.

        Thanks Leonard - I got your message! FYI you can type || on either side of your spoiler to hide it like this!

      the theme was lost on me, unfortunately 😅 some fun fill though!
      is 15d missing a homophone indicator?
