Felt your pain! Took some juggling and serious unpicking. Some interesting anagramming. 10d, 11a, 17a seemd obvius - after getting them! 20a i got stuck on Mus, Dutch for sparrow but hadn't realised it was also used in English for "Old world sparrow". Emus sailed by unnoticed 🙂 Enjoyable once i got into it. I got the top left corner fairly quickly which seemed to help a lot. Managed 45minutes. Thanks for sharing your thought processes once again, i enjoyed the journey. (Steve - on a cold wet day in the Netherlands).
