@KT17; Matthew - looks like I didn't fully get your clue (no9) at the time - it really is excellent!

Paul well done, Seems you are starting your peer review quite early? you still have to the weekend one and cl to get through?

Thanks Jafo! Have neutralized (hopefully) and reposted.

I am sure the other one will disappear soon enough, unless someone keeps bumping it up,

@Mattrom it was was an %lit anagram actually, but I know it doesn't look like that. But I finished in my favourite place of second with having some recognition but not actually having to do any work after!

Well done, Paul, on your worthy win, and thanks for the mention. (Also, kind of you to ask after Skye and me. We're both fine. Lots of nonsense going on over the last few months with family illness, bereavement, cancelled wedding - my daughter's, not mine - but I realise that I'm by no means the only person to have had those kinds of problems).

Thanks to Spike for the challenge and the kind words.

A big thank you to Tyke for giving me the very first vote of the day which, of course, ended up being my only one! Thanks also to FW, Chris, Marty and Granama for the mentions.

Jafo, in case you haven't realised, Skye is my dog (5 year old Golden Retriever) hence the moniker. Glad you like it.

Chapeaux Paul, nice topical clue!

And thank you Spike for hosting.

Thank you BBM for your mention and Paul for your retrospective applause and to Jono and Granama - who I have long felt are consummate arbiters of elegance - for your votes!

Have a good weekend all!

Still on a roll, paul! And thanks for the mention. And bad boy spike was good.

Well done, Paul, and thanks for the mention. I suppose for a true Grand Slam you'll have to win three in the same week.

Thanks also for the like from Buddy and my single vote from jafo.

Cheers and good health, spike.

Congrats paul. Hard luck jafo. Thanks spike2.

Congrats Paul and commiserations Jafo. Glad I raised a smile Skyewalker (it now seems de rigeur for TV and radio people to shpeak like Sean in recent times. Something to do with supressing sibilance, but it seems more of an annoying affectation with them.

Thanks for hosting Spike and hope you're bearing up.
