thank you hamishsoup and drxx - that was the one connection left and I couldn't figure out how to make the first four letters of 13 fit. I still think the clue is misleading - should be Love for one in ____

I have finished it - and it was very enjoyable - but am I right in thinking that 28A is the only one that refers to itself - ie the missing word is also the answer - or have I got that wrong?

That's right - the puzzle's setter (giving 'me' in the wordplay).

You're right, prospero - but your addition would spoil a lovely 'surface' - and the clues are all very good in this respect (I think).

Hint please as to the parsing of 10A...I have the answer to 18D as the clue insertion.

@ixion I have the same one filling in the blank.

I parsed it as the symbol of Iodine followed by a three letter synonym of mass (think weeds or hair), all inside two words meaning "an atom".

I have finished it, and, more or less, got the solutions to match the missing words in the clues, but cannot perfectly parse 23A. I assume the missing word is like that of a country, but am not sure (if not, I shall have to re-evaluate everything!). Can anyone give me a hint please?
