Sometimes, clues just seem to fall nicely into place. This was one of those times.

    Nice one! Think the enumeration for 1D should be (7) though, right?

      Oops! Thanks for the catch

      Lovely clues. 1D in particular was a great bit of misdirection. I couldn't work out how to get the PSY from "afterthought , at last" though. Could you fill me in?

        Glad you enjoyed it. My "afterthought" gives "PS" as in post-script; the "at last, really" gives the Y.

          Gah! That's a really good clue and I'm disappointed I didn't work it out myself!
