Times Cryptic Jumbo 1620 – 10 June 2023. Routinely picking initials

Hi all.  No time for this as I was on holiday, panting in the shade.  It didn’t strike me as too difficult, just a few things to verify when writing up the blog.  I’m in need of convincing that 23d works but found lots to enjoy including 24a, 35d and 44d.  Thanks setter!
