  Disposed as an anagrind? That's a new one on me... though as they say everything is an anagrind... thanks

    I see. Usually I refer to lists of anagram indicators to pick from, did not realize disposed was not as common. (Occasionally I will make up my own too)

      "disposed" is a generally accepted anagrind.

    I recommend the Pocket Crossword Dictionary by B. J. Holmes; it is available as a free pdf download if you can find it online.

  Nice one! I liked 5A – I was distracted thinking 'a hind is a female stag ... hmmm'

    Another great puzzle! Loved 1A, especially the surface reading.

  Fun puzzle. I think you could eliminate "from" in 5a. The surface still works, and the wordplay is a little more efficient / "honest."
