“Another easy start of the week”?
Probably, UY, you’re a lot more experienced than I am, but it took me a while to get going, the SE finally being the hardest bit.

Looking back at the crossword, indeed not that hard.
But – as I said on earlier occasions – Crux does his job very well.
The anagram of 1ac (ATMOSPHERIC) is great, and particularly well embedded in the surface of the clue.
Although I don’t like soldiers guns and arms, I thought 24ac (GUARDSMEN) was a fantastic clue.
Just like the LEGHORN of 19ac – full of imagery.

Not so keen on the cd’s [Here They Come Again] of 29ac and 25d (is it cryptic anyway?).

Nice Cruxword!

I think ‘legend’ in 4dn is meant to be read as ‘leg end’ (foot).
