I suppose "investor" has stock, but I do not think much of the clue.
Maybe all the clue is the definition, Elle.

Was a good puzzle, though.
Trespass has a good range of walking gear at sensible prices.

Hi, Rusty!
We have just come back from the park........a sudden decision to fit in another walk before it got dark.
I have already got the lights on in the lounge now, and the curtains drawn.
I'm not sure that six jam doughnuts will be beneficial for your potential fillings ?
But I bet they taste good!
Yes, Trespass is a good shop..
I don't know "Mountain Warehouse"........ I wonder if we have that ?
Speaking of cold weather gear.......
Did you buy another fleecey shirt?
You did say that you were thinking of doing that?

We've a friend staying with us who is recovering from a (mild, we hope) heart attack. The book of advice of Dos and Don'ts he was given has in three different places "Don't shovel snow. He's hoping it will, so he can watch!

Hello, Elle!
I have ate the doughnuts.
They were yummy!
Yes, I bought a fleece lined shirt and a chunky cardigan.
All set for Winter!

Hi, Rusty!

I meant to mention the similarity of a QC clue today to one last week in the 15 x 15.....
Do you remember "notes" ......."no TES"?
Today in the QC, we had:
Observed absence of small boy? (5)
"noted" ....no Ted!
I liked this one !
It made me chuckle!



Hello, Chris!
I hope your friend makes a good recovery.
I should imagine it isn't easy to refrain from doing something strenuous, if you have been used to leading an active life.
Snow shovelling is notorious for bringing on heart attacks!

Hi elle
He hasn't been all that active - part of the problem, I suppose!

I expect that it's the combination of activity and cold that causes the heart attacks - shovelling warm snow would be much less dangerous...

Hello, Elle!
Yes, I remember "notes".
I have been on the phone to BT.
My email page is completely blank.
They tell me their engineers are working on it.
That's the first BT problem I have had in a long time!

Hi, Rusty!
Now that is rather strange, because about half an hour ago I wrote an email letter to a friend, and, three -quarters way through the letter, it all disappeared from my Inbox screen!
Just blank!
The partially completed letter was not in "Drafts" either, as one would have expected!
Grrh!
I rewrote said letter in "Word", and then copied and pasted it into my Inbox and sent it as normal.
That appears to have worked.
I wonder whether this was a similar problem to yours?
Or simply an eerie coincidence?
But my difficulty seems to be resolved whatever the cause.....
I hope you soon get your problem sorted!



Warm snow, Chris......now there's an idea.......

Hello, Elle!

My BT page is completely blank.
Nothing in the inbox.

Hi Rusty!

What a nuisance for you.
I hope it soon gets sorted.
I am now reading yet another Nevil Shute......
These books are very old.... they have my maiden name written in them...
And I have been married for 45 years come this December!
