Silvanus was last here on Easter Sunday and seems to becoming the regular bank holiday substitute.
Good fun until I made a mess of parsing some of the south. I was sailing along smoothly until a bad night for Mama Bee somewhat messed up my thinking.
She seems a bit more compos mentis this morning, so we are going out for the day. I have hinted at (just about) half of a slightly unbalanced 16a and 13d clues. Some tricky bits have hit the cutting room floor, so I’ll nudge if needed (and can).
Here we go, Folks…

A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where, if the weather forecast for the next 7 days is accurate (ha-ha), we will have missed out Spring completely and gone straight to Summer with temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s.
For me, and I stress for me,© Dada still almost as quirky as last few Sundays – seven anagrams (six partials), one lurker, and one homophone, all in a symmetric 32 clues; with 16 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid you should/might be able to get some of the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. I hope you have your Crimson Tomes at hand!
Remember that Reading the Hints before commenting can be beneficial!

Chaotic in the Beehive this weekend, but solar panels are now installed and just the scaffolding to be removed. I struggled to parse 11a and may have missed something in my Ham and 22a Stottie Cake, but it is time to go out for coffee with the Queen Bee.
I have hinted half of 14a and 14d clues but will try and give a nudge if required.
Here we go, Folks…
