Mornin' all. (What the hell am I doing on a PC at this time of day...). One from yesterday:

Could it mean Virginia's landholding? = estate.

Many thanks.

Morning Pooksahib.

I think 'estate' ('e' + 'state') as Virginia is one of the USA's eastern states.

Thanks Jim. It was the Eastern part that foxed me. Now then:

Overwhelm unionist during hotel appointment = (I'm pretty sure)inundate.

And two I can't get so maybe explanation will be needed too...

Considering, say, taking year one in Berlin (6) (Letters 1 and 3 are both, probably, E)

Is this working in Rossini composition for strings? (5) R-S--

Many thanks.

Overwhelm unionist during hotel appointment. inundate = 'inn' around 'u' + 'date'.

Considering, say, taking year one in Berlin (6). This may be seeing as it has 'ein' in 'eg' .. well, ok, I don't get the wordplay.

Is this working in Rossini composition for strings? (5). This may be rosin (resin that's rubbed on the bows of musical instruments).

Maybe someone else has some better ideas?
