Cryptic crossword No 105

Thanks Bairbre! The wordplay is as good as ever. But I preferred the surfaces of your last puzzle. My favourites are 4a, 17a, 23a, 21d.

Nice cross word. Thanks for posting it. Lots of favourites. Clever anagram and deletion for 6 and 13 (Shouldn't it be 8,8 though, rather than 16? Same for 1D and 2D). 17D ,4A , 14D all well crafted with good surfaces. You got me at 7D with me looking for an anagram, fooled by the word 'supply'. Wasn't sure about 5D. Is that really a phrase? And can resilience and flexibility be seen as synonyms? It's a very clever construction though. Thanks for an enjoyable puzzle and solution

As Journeyman has pointed out 6, 13d should be (8,8) not (16); and 1d, 2d should be (6,2,6) not (8,6). Sorry folks!

Once again thanks Bairbre, nice work, sorry about the late feedback. 19d and 7d for especial mention. Is it OK to say, I found this one of the less difficult on here? No serious niggles, one or two comments (SPOILERS):
