62 Inter (Milan) Pret (a manger) = Interpret (translate)
68 Noseless (without feature) = lose (anagram/pants) (within/wearing) ness (cape)
88 Hurriedly (in haste) = anagram of ride "in" hurly (tumult)
88 Hurriedly - anagram of ride in hurly
89 Almacantar = ma (old lady)can (is able to) "inside" altar (place of worship) = almacantar (heavenly cicle)
Good luck with your entry, Matakari . There are bumper prizes on offer!

2 help required
Tropical (warmer temperature)and topical (not long past) but that leaves "R" for "dance". I don't have a Chambers to check abbreviations! I also may be totally wrong!!
5 Spicebush (member of laurel family of plants)= spice (season) + Bush (US president)
32 not sure
CH(apter) + ants (workers)= chants (childrens books ?)
2 Hot Plate, a warmer! Hop Late, with t, temperature inside.
Yep thanks NAC, I was totally on the wrong tack
32 Abcees. A, are Bees, workers, with C, chapter, inside. Abcees,ABCees, kids' books.
43 Mahseers (prophets) = mah (ham/meat rev) + seers (fish)
My brain is dead
Mahseers (fish) = mah (ham reversed) + seers (prophets)!!!!
JJ109, your first parsing of Mahseers tickled me!

Matakari, it's incredible to think that you've been tackling this puzzle for 15 years - you're definitely a veteran now!
Hope these answers helped, Matakari?
