Ok, so this is a reasonably expected result from
My plan . It's a loss in the corner, but White doesn't have much scope for expansion, and Black's outside thickness seems reasonable. The question in my mind is what White can do to the right hand side. My profit there determines whether or not this is a success for White or for Black, and that's not clear to me right now. Both the top left and bottom left corner are still invadable, and I have no weak groups, which makes me happy enough, but it's also a matter of finding ways of collecting points.
Either way, onwards we go...

FWIW, if this ends up being just bad for Black, I should most likely have accepted the weakness of the top group much earlier and played this:

If it does, can white play more simply:
