saturday times cryptic

[thebadger]

Too much wine last night, struggling with all my crosswords. Can anyone help with:
3d a break is good in itself, to acquire energy R.S...E
And
6d Sound of explosion unresolved, drunkard may declare A.I....
Thanks

3d Respite (a break) - 'pi(ous)' (good, in) 'rest' + 'e(nergy)'
6d Atishoo (sound of explosion) - "at issue" (as drunkard may say 'unresolved')

respite?

Respite

What fast fingers and minds you all have. Thanks all!

Is it not true that if sober folk such as myself said "at issue" , it would sound like "atishoo" ?
