11. Lessing - Blessing is the happy event, take away B for book.

26 Yawn, something dull. Way = style, recalled - backwards so Yaw+N/new.

Hi Malone nice of you to call
And thanks.
Yes it is YAWN BUT Yawn is definitely not something dull. Whaddyer think. Yawn is a noun or a verb. Dull is an adjective.

Am I being fussy again. As you know Im agin sloppy clueing.
Hope you've had a good day. Only 11degs here. Don't like it!!!
Cheers THEA(O)

Dull may be an adjective - but the clue is 'Something dull'. Something is a noun ... isn't it?

Thea(o), I was rushing earlier, so you got a terse reply. I am often not very good at parsing, but I really didn't see a problem with Yawn being 'Something dull'. Maybe you were being a little on the picky side!
