    Nice one! I love this sort of theme
    • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-17T17:22:32.475Z
      Thanks so much! This was a fun one to work on :)

      Very fun - I filled in 19A from the downs much earlier than 37A and was thoroughly confused, ha!
      • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-17T17:22:51.787Z
        Hah, the gibberish is not appealing to the eye - but hopefully it makes sense in the end! Thanks!

              Very fun! I'm wondering whether 38D should have had an indicator that it was an abbreviation though? Perhaps it's well-worn enough a phrase that it's fine without one, but either way, a lovely puzzle! :)
              • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-17T17:23:50.761Z
                Thank you so much! I went through some archives for examples clues for that one and most don't include any indicators for an abbreviation... but that's good feedback and I'll be more careful about it down the line!
