Hello everyone. I didn`t post last week as I found the Xword very difficult but I read the posts and knew that some of you found it, as usual, easy! Not so for me.

This weeks has been easier. Re 1D, I seem to remember this electrical thing being in one of last year`s puzzles. Prior to that I had never heard of it. Meantime I am stuck on 13D (designer lawn), 19D Material left in advance and 22A (Run to city bank) which I have as starting with `R`.

How are you doing Old gal? You and I often trail along at the end in the crossword world. Hope things are going reasonably well for you and that you are managing to keep your pecker up. And Pipesmoker, I see you are still battling on - well done that man!

Weather a bit dismal here today

Hello Mondrian
I hope you are well.
13D is another name for a parterre (geometrical design, with low-cut box edging)
19D is a type of material. (rhymes with "rush")
22A was a bit devious. If you "bank" on somebody doing something, you depend on them or R*** on them. The last 3 letters make up the name of a Cathedral city. HOpe this helps ( or maybe not !!) :)

hello to all and especially Mondrian! Yes, I must say I like it when you post that you find the crossword a bit difficult after all these brilliant people who finish in 20 mins!!!!! I have just returned from a few days by the sea watching sexy surfer boys.....did me the power of good! Haven't got this weeks RT but will today - will also get next week's but am in hospital from Thursday and will be too groggy to post so will see you all (hopefully!) in a week or so! Incidentally, the RT has been sold to a new publisher (read in newspaper) so hope they keep the crossword intact! Bye all

Hello old gal
Good to hear that you enjoyed the views at the seaside :0)
I never finish the RT in 20 mins... more like 20 hours or more!
I hope things are not too bad at the hospital. Maybe there will be some good-looking doctors, but we don't want to raise your blood pressure too much now !! Take care.x
All the best to you.

I have grave doubts about a couple of my answers. Could I have clues please for 5d and 17d?
Has anyone else been having trouble with the site not displaying properly?

Didn't like this weeks crossword one bit. Took me ages to get into it & now stuck on a couple, so help please with 19d and I think I have the answer to 23a but an extra clue would be helpful as I can't see how my word fits with the clue! Glad you had a good time away Old Gal. We've just got back from a couple of days in Cornwall, warm but windy.

23A has a strong connection to bees!
