I usually settle down with a Chambers within reach to solve Azed.
Last weekend I was at the coast in a caravan with no copy in sight.
I expected to get very little done before returning home.
I really surprised myself by solving all but three or four and maybe as many more which I needed to check before writing in.
I didn’t know ‘lill’ as an instrument hole or ‘semsem’ as an alternative to sesame but I was chuffed that I guesssed ‘cataphoresis’.
It really is a delightful mental challenge to tackle Azed each week (and it keeps the dementia away, I hope).

Yes, I agree that your interpretation of the parsing for 16d is better than my suggestion that it is all an anagram, especially as IR appears as two consecutive letters in the answer.

16dn: I know I have been going on a lot about this issue recently, but here I can only accept this as IR contained in anagram of IRELAN(d). I cannot account for the word “in” second in the clue except as a containment indicator.
