Cryptic crossword No 3,138

Thanks Ghoti enjoyed your puzzle on Cryptic Sunday stream the other week and had fun with this one too. Good balance of difficulty throughout with nice surfaces to boot. Favourites included 1a, 12a, 26a, 1d (brilliant!) and 22d. If you're in the market for feedback on any technical matters spoilers follow...

Some offbeat defs made this extra fun. I especially liked 1a, 9a, 13a and 1d (COTD), 5D,6D,22D

Thanks Ghoti this was a good puzzle. I appreciate your creative definitions which is something I need to work on! My favourites were 12a, 26a, 1d, 5d, 6d, 10d and 24d. Cheers!
