I seem to have come down with some lurgy or other, and I may have to retire to bed. Apologies if the hints are a bit terse today,
We have 16a and 14d clues, and I have hinted half. I found the Spooner today quite difficult and the proXimal™ compounds a bit easier. I have left the last of three unhinted, in order to give a nudge to the 13a anagram.
Between paracetamol and naps I will be hoping Europe make light work of at least 2 1/2 points to retain The Ryder Cup. I will provide hints if you ask.
Here we go, Folks…

Last time we had a puzzle from Giovanni, it was a tough time. This time he has been a lot kinder to us. A smattering of new / lesser known words, but altogether the same excellent standard that we have come to expect.
