Good morning again. The weeks seem to fly by! Hope today's offering will provide some fun. Happy solving. J

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. Greek character with (Chinese) time to show the ref rough play (3,6,2,3,5)

3. Advances and kills without hesitation (6)

4. These liners travel from a big Brest naval building (3-4)

5. Stitching around a sail (3,4)

Hello, Jolan! Got the first one: ingenious! Hope to find time for the others later!

Morning Jolan. I believe I have #4 and #5 but the others aren't at all clear yet. Will keep going though.

Got # 4 now, too!

Cracked 3 & 5, I think: only # 2 left to worry about!

Hello, Jolan. Still working on breakfast, or does it technically end before lunch begins? I see 1, 3, and 4 so far...

Got 2. If 5 is one of your sailing terms I'm in trouble.

Hi to GK, Andyc and Ari (your breakfast seems to be the equivalent of my dinner!!!). Nice to 'see' you. I'm afraid #2 is a "never heard of THAT before" type of answer, Sorry! I only stick the occasional one in. J

PS. Ari. Am trying to lose a bit of weight and am starting to attempt "2 days less than 500 calories" a week. Today is my first day and I can already see it's not going to be easy. BUT! Two days! Shouldn't be that difficult, eh?

... as I typed, you got it Ari! Very well done.

...and as YOU typed, Jolan, I got my last one! True, only just discovered it in Ch.!
