Good morning folks! Dreadfully wet September, here in the UK. I remember when we used take out holidays in September because of the usually balmy weather. How things have changed!. Hope you enjoy this week's offering below.

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.


1. Violent old hand burned to a turn (5-3-7)
2. Narrow cap covering a diminutive person (7)
3. Nebraskan retribution for Lincoln’s assassin? (7,10)
4. Listen to disheartened tenors encourage working for a theatre performer (5,7)
5. Bug found in part of the roof and sink (9)

I've got the first one so far.

Hi jolan
Plenty to think about again - thanks. I've got 1, but I should do, as I suggested it, incorrectly, as someone's answer last week (not yours, though, I think)!
Now going to look at just-arrived RT

Hi Jolan

I think #3 is a bit sneaky!
Hope to be back later to check all my answers.

'Morning Chrise and Tony.
Good luck with the RT Chris.
Tonmy; you seem to have solved 'em all again. Super! No. 3 should be easy for Ari (who should be emerging from his beddie-pies about now. lol).
I hope to be back at 5.

(Actually, I've just finished it - whisper)

Hello, Jolan. Crawled out of bed a while ago, but need more coffee- only got 1, 3, and 5 right off. I'll get there...

There's always one and I can't get number 4!

Juat taking a wee peek in.
Well done Chrise.
Welcome Rossim (I somehow missed you up there), Andyc (hopefully no. 4 has emerged) and Ari (well Java'd up by now?). Keep at it. See you later.

hi Jolan
I have none so far, as I've only just checked in, after doing the "stinker" of a RT crossword.I will now write down the 5 and see how far I get. Till later.
