    Hi, solvers, and thanks for checking out my puzzle - I hope it didn't put you to sleep. Drop me a comment and let me know how you got on. I've been absent for a week or two, and tinkering on this on-and-off over that time - pleased to finally get it finished and out the door. And as usual, the post-match wash-up (for the perennially perplexed) is below:
    ACROSS. 1A. Anag. GETSARTY. 6A. Remove end from "bread" = LOAF. 7A. Double def. 8A. "Sailor" = TAR + "a saint" = PAUL + IN as given. 10A. Hidden in "touGHANAgram". 12A. Reversal of "fall" = SAG. 13A. Anag. CAVESAND.
    DOWN. 1D. "A drink" = SHORT + "period" = AGE. 2D. Removal of "pill" = E from "joint" = REEFER. 3D. Double def. 4D. Cryptic def. (ref. underground railway announcement notice, "Mind the gap.") 5D. Anag. PHONY + "relative" = SIS. 9D. "Record" = LOG + alternate letters in "pitch" = IC. 11D. Remove last letter from "opera" = AIDA.

      Great as always, perennially wishing I could be one tiny bit as smart as you tinkerers and constructors

        Great puzzle, I had to resort to an anagrammer to get one clue, and then the two words crossing it became evident. Loved the 8A and 4D clues!

          Fun! Lovely surface for 7A
