The answer to the meta is an activity you have to do three times to solve. (Base form of the infinitive [not gerund; without the word "to"], and with definitive article)
This is an attempt to redo https://crosshare.org/crosswords/pe5bd7N6hREcRSJbf4Mw/lovely-day-for-it attempting to fix an aesthetic issue. But then I dropped the ball and it was sitting in my cookie buffer 1/3 clued for weeks. It was abandon or publish so... I published. This may be harder than the first. The first had a weirdness that made where the meta was supposed to be clear. This does not but there is a distinct element that might make it not too hard. The clues were done in a rush and get a little punchy. If I thought this had potential I'd make them less silly but I don't really expect much from this.
I was going to do a third that didn't have so many 2-letter words but I want to move on.....
