Yes – nice spot Mike! It slipped through my net completely undetected.

You are quite correct in querying 28ac since ‘of the lower intestine’ should indeed be ‘ileac’ or ‘ileal’. ILIAC means either ‘relating to Troy’ or is the adjectival form of ‘ilium’ (a bone in the pelvis).

Thank you for your blog, smiffy

Nothing too taxing here. My favourite clue was 20ac – and it was really the only one to cause a delay!
In 28ac, I was wondering about the solution, ILIAC. Is this a possible alternative to ILEAC?

Thanks Smiffy.

Straighforward as you say. Except for the fact that I inserted ‘your’ instead of ‘ones’ in 29ac. Otherwise I would have finished 15′ earlier! As a result, I spent ages wondering why 26dn didn’t finish with a plural. Doh!!
