Thanks for additional hint geeker. Got the big green tick now!
Have a great weekend all

"Yes, in the 11 sense, but in terms of the double definition it means the opposite stateside..
Ah, sorry, didn't know that.

Put this down this morning with three to go. 19d, 22d and 29a.

Picked it up 1 hour ago and still haven't solved any of them. There's an obvious gag definition for 22d but the rest doesn't parse. I have the last five letters of 29a from the clue but can't get the type of 11 to start. Any hints welcome.

Hi rocky
22d is a sounds like. You aren't spelling both words the same, are you?
I gave my best hint for 19d previously.
You really will kick yourself at the 11 type for 29!

Right thanks chrise. Yes, a bit of a duh moment there. Just the two to go.

Hi everyone

I think I'm getting worse.

After two hours, with a break to put some plants in, I had solved precisely two! I did keep dozing in the sun and couldn't get 11. Thank you geeker, I now have 11 and may solve some more. Unlike others, I'm never on Picaroon's wavelength. But I will try. Back later for some specific hints.

So I've finished. Was going down totally the wrong path with 22d until the pdm.

I have a word for a religious book to finish for 19d but Chrise's parsing hint from earlier doesn't seem to help me parse it. But I think I'm done for today.

COD would be 14a but like others I've seen better Picaroons than this.

can you see a part of speech anywhere in your answer to 19d?

Hi Rocky,

19d - 2 letter "great" + 4 letter "part of speech" both reversed then 2 letter "line" (one you might catch as part of a journey).

19d more specifically is 2 letter abbrev. for great + 4 letter ‘part of speech’ both reversed (going up in a down clue), then followed by 2 letter common crossword abbrev. for ‘lines’.

I do think Elon Musk deserves a ‘definition by example’ indication.
