Stuck on two this week.
5ac: Smoking gun injury? (4) I have ?A?M
Maim or harm?
30ac: Notes decay (4) D?T?

30ac: Notes decay (4) D?T?

do-te (of timber, to decay)

5. I would think harm, an "H" arm?
30 dote (decay, of timber), do + te.

Many thanks, ginge. I'll go with that.

28a. Old school alphabet. I have o?a?
9a. Disc or dish. Is it flan?
Thanks.

ogam??

A " gam" is a group of whales, apparently

Thanks for that.
Thoughts on 9a?

It's probably horribly obvious but I'm stuck on 1D, viz:

'Bubble: get 16 again' (4) P - R -

16A 'Rise healthy' is WELL

The best I can think of is either PERK (as in 'up') or PERM (as in bubble perm hairdo).

I also have perk as in coffee percolated 'bubbling'
Not convinced I have right answer for 27d ? meet
