Tern = set of three & 'taken' in turn!

tony, I just looked up "tern" and now know it means set of three. as for the rest of it, do you mean "taken" as in sounds like; in turn/tern.

Sorry for the wrong spelling of your name Phillip!

Yes I read 'taken in' as heard/sounds like

thanks for clearing that up Tony.

Couldn't get 2, but looks like Tony's right.

Compliments well deserved, Jolan. Excellent clues.

Just to confirm that I only got three: 1,4 and 5 as I had nine for 2. No 5 came to me while waiting at the dentists, and I groaned at my inability to see it sooner - people waiting must have thought I had a really bad toothache. Excellent for the old grey cells as usual Jolan, many thanks

Nice clues as always Jolan, only managed 3 and 5

Thank you Ari, HelenB and Ixion for the kind comments. Hope the dentist-visit was a painless one Helen.
See you next week. Good night - pleasant dreams.
