Gosh Ouroboros, what a treat! Some masterful stuff here with a nice range of difficulty. Some went straight in, others to chew on. If I’m understanding the trickery correctly in 10A it’s a little much for me, but still solvable with the rest provided. Was also a little uncertain of the apostrophe in 13D, but I may be missing something. Highlights were 12A, 15A and 7D with 23A as the best in show - beautifully set.
