I am feeling a bit delicate today with a vicious headache and body aches that I hope is just a cold.
I have hinted half of an even 14a and 14d clues, and hope you find enough checkers to fill the grid
I made hard going with this and 15a didn’t get a hint as I am not sure I fully understand it unless Bill is Shakespeare and we have much ado about nothing
I am returning to bed to try and shake this lurgy as this time next week I will be in Dublin for the Bruce Springsteen concert, I believe Gazza will be on hinting duties

A lot of London and numerous routes today, most of which are on the route of today’s London Marathon. I wonder if proXimal is taking part or attending some musical theatre at 2d
Some great penny drops today most of which involve water in some form, meres, pools and plumbing revealed themselves with a clang
An evenly balanced 14a 14d clues today and I couldn’t help but hint (just) over half of them. I hope you find the checkers to solve the rest as I have had to leave some clues that I found quite difficult unhinted

Zandio gets the toughieness level spot on for me. It is hard to choose between the four long clues so I won’t, but I will pick 27a as my favourite today.
If I haven’t clued anything you need help with please ask, as Big Dave says up there ^ we are all about “putting the words to lights”

In his much-praised last back pager https://bigdave44.com/2023/04/05/dt-30266/#comment-618941 Robyn invited you to try his Easter Sunday Toughie and I hope you do. It was a great way to start Easter Sunday.
A fine toughie for this Easter Sunday with plenty of references to “Him Upstairs” along with a couple of bits of Latin and South Coast geography, we have the lowing of cattle, piety and praise to the lord and a heavenly body to follow

A fine puzzle from proXimal today as usual, I struggle to keep the hints down to about half so a couple of bonus pics have crept in. The 3d Spoonerism at 1a gets my COTD what was yours?
14a and 16d clues today, I hope you find the checkers to find the answers
