As toddler to marathon runner, thanks for setting the example! Expertly elegant and economical. I especially appreciated 7a, 1a, 11a, 12d and 20d - learnt some new ‘terms’ and devices from them. And I heartily echo your special instructions. But how to turn the clue references blue?

Wonderful achievement! So many clever surfaces here. Especially liked 7a,9a,15a,3d,4d,14d,16d. Keep them coming, please, 7d,17d indeed!
