Cryptic crossword No 3,231

So early! You have my sense of time all of of whack! Magnificent Nina, must have been quite a challenge to clue, and she arrived in time to be a great help. My faves include 6a,10a,13a, 1d,3d,7d,16d. Some marvelously entertaining surfaces in the mix! Have a great weekend.

Thanks Gennaro for another entertaining puzzle, not too tricky but a few abbreviations I wasn't too familiar with - I will try to commit them to memory for future use! My COTD 14d

Great stuff. Faves: 13a, 22a, 8d, 14d definitely my COTD for a brilliant surface, 16d a close second. Thanks!
