I agree with Eileen on 9ac. I got 2d but without conviction – it was the only word that fit – so thank you for explaining the clue.

Thanks PO – needed you for 2d – both answer and 2nd component – otherwise another very enjoyable and not too tricky offering from the Master.

Liked the fools/angels link.

Great crossword. Thanks for the blog. A lot of nudity in today’s crosswords.

Thanks PeterO [especially for 2dn].

An ‘embarras des richesses’ indeed – I’m sure you’re not complaining!

Lovely puzzle – I particularly liked the well hidden 13ac and the link between 21dn and 15,2.

I think 9ac is a charade of LO [the other crossword standby 'see'] and CUM [with].

Thanks for reminding me about Lake Rudolph’s name change – otherwise this was the only clue which had foxed me.
