Stuck on last one:
25ac) Operatic character reported as a hysterical type (6)
I have ?E?M?E
Meemie is a hysterical person - and it sounds like Mimi, a character from a famous opera (though I can't remember which!).
La boheme?

Well, I’ll go to the foot of our stair. Many thanks.
I’m also having reservations about 19ac which is
Chilly wind snakes round about (6)
I’m back to ?E?E?S and not happy...
recess? not sur eof definition though
Ignore that
Long shot- wedels? (skiing term?)
No wondr I struggle with crosswords.
Think I'll stick with the numbers puzzles.
Hopefully dannyk, mac44 or donny will see this thread again and will finish the last one for you .
I'm not convinced by WEDELS- could be a chilly wind (to rhyme with bind) is a wedel (where you ski in the cold snow and continually change direction) , and that could cover the snakes (verb) too, but I can't see why the 'roundabout' is there.
Bo re(about) as
.Definition of Boreas. 1 : the Greek god of the north wind. 2 : the north wind personified.
