Good morning (afternoon!!!) friends.
Sorry about the late posting. Had a broken night's sleep (no reason) and then slept it out.

Hi Ari. Hope that pesky storm doesn't reach you.

Here are today's clues. Hope thay provide some fun

J


I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT) to allow others to have a go.

1. Making Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a famous German waltz god (2,7)
2. Sporting close-fitting bra, though not being first of eight (5)
3. Time to keep bar orderly and entertain (7)
4. Say nothing about doctor with short-arm impediment (7)
5. Design a child, of necessity (9)

Hello, Jolan. Just checking in. Only see 1 right off, but have to walk the property to assess hurricane damage (whew! a big one!). Still have a few Joint Effort clues to figure out too. I'll try to get back.

Gosh Ari! From my top-of-the-post, I hoped you'd escape too much of Sandy. Hope the damage is not too bad. My cousin in Baltimore just told me it's only expected to have the effect of a 'bad storm' there. Best wishes
J.

Hi jolan
Just had a quick look as a break from gardening. 3 I've possibly done, and 5 too, if I'm slurring my speech!

4, not 3.
btw is anyone else finding that the first letter of the post isn't registering? It's happening too regularly for me, on both computers, for it to be user-error, I think.
(I had to go back and put the "4" in)

Really struggling today Jolan, 1 only so far....can't wait to see the solutions.
My keyboard seems to be suffering in a similar way Chris regarding the first letter.

Welcome Chrise(hic?), Andyc and Jazzy. Good to see they're not a pushover

Don't quite get the 'first letter missing' bit. Is it ABSENTEE LANDLORD?

Ohh Sorry!. That was really beneath me. LOL. I'll go back to my rum & coke (cheers Chrise). See you 5.

Just popping back in. Think I have four.
1- AN ANAGRAM
2- OCTAL
3- HARBOUR
5- INVENTION

No broken skylights! No trees down! Very scary though.
