Congratulations to all you clever guys who've already finished- light years ahead of me!
I've been thrown by several entries that don't seem to make sense eg in 30d, I have a good answer, which , with a misprint, makes sense too, but the replaced letter isn't in Kea's list. In 9d, another good answer, but there's a flaw in the parsing.... I'm basically stumbling around looking for anything that may work!

Both 9d and 30d have letters to add before they make sense, dylan.

I agree with drxx that the last object is a tricky find, and a new one on me, but Kea's directions are scrupulously fair!

Filled in NW corner very quickly, after drxx's nudge for 3d- but did you really mean 2-letter abbrev. in #8?

I still have a totally blank SW corner - any ideas for 18D?
Thanks

No abbrev. in 8d, dylan - a 4 letter synonym ('passionate') is to be adapted. Another 4 letter synonym ('peace') is reversed in 18d.

sorry, dylan (it's early still}. Yes, definitely a 2 letter abbrev for the month in 3d.

Hi Dylan. For 3Dn, look for an adjective as your answer, not a past tense verb…
