I have attuned from a(n)d houses the outset (t) and tune (air)

1st across answer fits in the middle of the top row ...no spaces

1st down clue fits in column 1

Thanks saustin. That was hard to see.

Thanks xwordfan.
I had a feeling 1a does not start in Col. 1.

So far I have found four down clues from which a letter was removed. Happened to be the same letter for all 4.
Trying to see if the same letter would work for the other 4 but nothing apparent yet.

Is 3d an anagram? I cannot figure it out.
Dim-witted purser gets very drunk after being half-cut (8)


I now have 6 thematic down clues.

3 D. The definition is 'dim-witted' - just a word for 'very drunk' after half of another word in the clue ('half-cut').

yes it's the same letter for all 8 downs sunray

Thanks malone.
Was hung up on anagram of purser + half of very.

Thanks xwordfan.
I just cannot see the other two but will find them.

There are still a handful I have not solved but there are some hints on the layout. If it is symettrical around a vertical axis, then 1a must go across the middle (as already pointed out). But the tip on blanks must allow for the possibility that there are blanks in the first cell of an answer?
