I've finished this except for 15a:

Library of Congress advocates return to House (4)

I've got (L) CRA? (L is an extra letter.) Thanks.

An astrological house, of course, malone. Thanks.

Nelson, 20a has moved from 25a and 34a has come from 12a.

POSSIBLE SPOILER!
Thanks Orson. Yes, I've done that - and all the other requirements.
Including finding all the thematic words to prefix the thematic entries apart from those two.

Hi Nelson, the thematic words are Rose (20A) and Maroon (34A)

Nelson, think of the surname of a famous Henry (or eight). For 34a, when someone congratulates you, they sometimes say "high ...". (Personally I think tea time is an hour earlier.)

Thanks muraria.
So with 20a the thematic word comes after the entry, unlike all the others?

Thanks Orson. I obviously didn't make it clear enough that I had the actual entries.
(Tea time in our house is about every half hour.)
