I am struggling today - can someone please help with 8a ... one of which, it's said is outstanding - is it ONER?
and 17a one free flower I?I? is it irid?

9a Owed (outstanding) sounds like Ode

I agree with both of those. As I previously said - I'm not completely happy about 10 d.

Yes Irid ...1 (one) + RID (free)

Thank you again, K - that feels better

10d is hidden in the clue

The word means to dance/bounce with a baby

Indeed - now I feel quite happy about the whole thing -litle annoyances there today.
What other crosswords do you do?

Time permitting at the weekend I do Mephisto, Azed
EV & Listener.

I run a small school for mid-level solvers and that takes up most of my time.

Cheers

Thanks - i had dandle and read the chambers defn but couldn't see how it fitted in with "bound". We don't usually get "answers in the clues" (bounD AND LEap) in spectator. Better get some gardening done now!!

To K - Nice to see we have an expert joining us.
I'm a Mephisto and Azed addict, and Araucaria, of course, particularly his Alphabet puzzles.
