For this week, a "gift" exchange.

I will kick it off by setting a clue. The first correct solver will then set the next clue, and so on. Wait for the setter to confirm the solution correct before proceeding. The clues need not be holiday related. If you have already solved a clue, give others a chance before responding to another. If an incorrect solution is submitted, that would make the clue open to previous solvers. Also, after three clues a previous solver is back in. Feel free to suggest amendments to the rules.

The first gift is:

Instructions from Russia but in the French. (5)

RULES?

You are correct, Chris. Seemed appropriate.

OK, I'll recycle one of my favourite clues from the late lamented Clue Chain.

Teh? Eth? Het? Sieve sailors! (3,7)

The Jumblies? but that's (3,8)

I was thinking that, but it’s 8, though I’m sure you’re right Mattrom. It’s a good clue I like it. Also the &Amp thing is happening

The options?

I guess it's meant to be 'The Jumbles', referring to Lear's book.

Jono, it was bucketing down here last night, so no planetary observation.

Sorry guys, I had several goes at counting them in my mind. I should have written it down.

I think mattrom got past the misleqding letter count first!

Perhaps mattrom might like to start again. I think it's the punctaution matks that cause the "amp amp"thing.
