I try to avoid having a look at Google or dictionaries in general, but I often do to confirm or disconfirm a lead (I distinctly remember the shock of discovering COYPU was indeed correct a few months back!)

HEAVE is a classic, even more so, as you say, for its position in the clues!

Not surprising that by the time we got to the last clue we were ready to 22A. Really good fun, and I have a feeling DA googles regularly when composing his crossies and encourages us to do the same when solving them. What a joy to follow up on 19D and get images of the incredible Alhambra mosque in Granada, surely one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Can't wait for next week.
