Well done Darla - thanks for the challenge Jono.

Congrats Darla - your clue reminded me of James Joyce’s 'Rose of Castille / rows of cast steel' gag in Ulysses.

Thanks Jon - enjoyed the lovely Rita (for an expectant moment I thought it might have been the beautiful Isela Vega).

Thanks to, Chris, Geting, Tyke and Paul for the votes - mucho appreciated.
Yet again the victim of 'Elton John in America syndrome'🥲

Chris, if it’s any consolation, you were on my shortlist.

[Thanks raffles]

Muchas gracias a todos. This will be brief because I’m on a plane to San Diego. My daughter is living there and had a mishap last night and ended up in the hospital. She’s home now and ok but it has been quite a night into day. I haven’t slept in 26 hours.

Darla, I hope your daughter is OK, the most important thing to say. I'm sure everybody will endorse that.

I came up with a similar but clumsier clue but, too late.

Thanks jono.

Wishing your daughter well, Darla

Thank you Aristo and Chris, and Jono for hosting
