Morning all - I wondered if BOG was the first one, not sure about the third - a work in progress maybe :(

Good evening all. Just back in from the Golf Club.
I'm about to have a look at the grid ! Will come back later.

axions or axons?

I would say the latter = nerve.

38a. Mud
49a. Tip
16d. Nerve
35d. Dress
