Made a real hash of this. Got 6A and 7A right…then couldn’t think through the anagram so looked at the downs which made me decide 7A was wrong, deleted it…worked out a possible for 9A which gradually made me realise 7A actually had been right all along and finally I clicked on 2D and 3D… Man.

I did not know that about the rim of the ear nor that fish.

Yeah, the ear rim one was new to me, too. The fish has popped up in this or the NYT a few times.

nearly went LEGAL for 6A but that felt somewhat … seedy. 8A can fuck off, just got from filling in the rest

WHAAAT, surely 8A is the cast-iron obvious answer we can all get?!

Blimey, a lot guesses and vaguery but it all fell out okay. Didn’t know about the clouds or the Troy king or the muse but here we are.
