    Some amazing fill in this one, especially the spanners — very nice!
    I could not find my one typo for the life of me — but it was a poetic parallel with the title 😉
    • JeffsPuzzles constructor · 2024-07-21T17:34:04.425Z
      Whoops! Thanks for solving and for pointing out the creative spelling in the title.

      Awesome puzzle, love the spanners. Some unique clues in here.

        Wonderful! I'm slightly more used to "mollusk" than "mollusc" (is the latter more British English?), but I got there eventually.
        • JeffsPuzzles constructor · 2024-07-22T00:32:57.153Z
          Thanks for solving! Mollusc is more British, which I didn't realize til now. I'll tweak the clue to fix it.

          Great challenge, thanks.
          Noticed some slight repetitions in 36A ("I") and 8D ("life"), but they didn't detract.
