    Hello again, solvers, and thanks for dropping by. I hope you enjoyed solving this silly thing, I'm afraid it's really not my most inspired effort. I've been away for a while too, so if you're new to my puzzles, go ahead and check out https://crosshare.org/tuber for more (they're, er, "similar, but smaller.")
    More mini-cryptics on the way soon, I anticipate. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here's the wash-up...

          Pretty good and fun! Some clues I enjoyed, found clever (25A, 5D, 15A, 22A); some left me stumped or unsatisfied (9D, 3D, ....). Looking forward to more!
