Very much enjoyed that but stuck on the last letter of 26a, which is a bit frustrating. I can't solve the clue and I've tried every possible anagram. Is the answer in Chambers?

Forget that, have now got it. Very, very good indeed.

Nearly finished, but can't parse 37 down. Hint please?

Opt0, the coil is a snake and 'the way to follow' is spiritual.

All done, despite being in a smallish house which is being entirely decorated (hence a certain degree of chaos), but I am not quite sure what to do with the instruction. Is the change a very minor one? And what is meant to happen to C, S and G? I think they are just highlighted and they do not disappear?

Many thanks, Mattrom. I see it now.

yes foinavon highlighted ...

foinaven even ... had a geegee on my mind ...

Foinaven - the letter chosen for he change is non-arbitrary.

Admittedly a lot of work for a tiny detail of icing… but beautifully done.

Very clever and satisfying. I found this one quite tricky, but steady work paid off. The way the titles replace is neatly done. It’s a bit of a pity the down “clue” answer doesn’t have a significance I can spot, but there’s so much else going on I can hardly complain! Thank you lath.

Just one parsing I can’t crack. I have the answer, as it’s all checked letters, and it fits the definition, and I know what letter is extra, but I just can’t figure out the wordplay. If anyone can nudge me to see it that will just close off the effort :-) It’s 22d, “gentleman rises to hug mostly top birds”.
