While a few months ago I wouldn’t have written in the likes of 1a & 19a on sight, I now seem to either solve a clue within two minutes of looking at it or not at all.

22a was frustrating. I had tow and I had no but just couldn’t see up.
28a I’ll remember this for future use
15d I had keep but couldn’t see track
20d Hadn’t seen this use of bugle

I don’t think I would have got 25a or 5d

I too found it easy, though not as easy as you clearly did. Took me about 40 minutes, which is just about a record for me. I thought “avoid” as a definition of “abstain” a bit of a stretch.

btw, correcting the grid on Monday’s puzzle was easy enough, from the clue numbers and word lengths. I managed to solve the puzzle on the day without much difficulty.
