      You're welcome LV - minor slips happen even when we take a lot of care.

      Lovely grid with neat surfaces and tight wordplay. Loved ETNA amongst other good clues. Nice touch to put SHE in the middle. Hope it's a harbinger of more crosswords set by ladies here.

    Lovely Grid LV. Since did not look at the comments - did not get MARTIAL ART. Kept looking for a single word.
    A good way to augur Women's day week.:)
