Good morning all. A little late this marning due an unexpected visitor. Hope you enjoy the clues this week. 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.

2. Run like the first serpent (6)
3. Stumped by a novice, caught by a lob (2,1,4)
4. Energetically equivalent to lightweight’s affair (4,7,8)
5. Flyer’s attack victim? (10)

Hi jolan
Nothing at first sight, and I'm out most of the afternoon. Oh well, I'll just have to look at the answers later, I suppose.

Hold the front page! I've seen 3

'Morning Chris. Good start! Enjoy your outing.

Hello, Jolan. Just letting you know you're not alone in a cold, impersonal universe now that that sybarite ChrisE has gone off golfing or something. Got three (I think). Must focus...

Think I've got 5 now (there's a 9-letter word that works perfectly too!). One more...

Got it. Am now at peace. +

Good afternoon gentlemen
I've just arrived home from a shopping trip.
I spotted just the one (and jolan will know which one !) Thank you. I think that will be the one and only :(

Sybarite, indeed, aristo! I have been for a bracing walk with daughter and dog in sub-zero temperatures (no golf involved).
I expect it is quite cold with you, now, is it?

After the indirect hint from jazzgirl I now have solved 1 as well - should have expected it!
