I'd like to thank Les, Syzygy and Aristo for The Ghosts and Harpers: in this way I won't get bored waiting for the doctor & the dentist to go to work on me today & tomorrow (not to worry, nothing serious, I hope -- just painful)! In fact, I was always keen on "Ghosts" (don't find them "wrong" at all, which doesn't mean to say I can solve them easily!)
so this is a welcome new challenge! Thank you all!

You weren't kidding - up at 05:00 !

The dentist shouldn't be painful; not these days.
Hope it all goes well.

Cheers.

My theory for 12 is disproved by 7dn - I'm not sure which answer to enter, but neither fits with my cheese.
This looks like it might be a frequent problem with this type of clue; the clue gives two "ghosts", one of which is the fodder, the other the definition. Which is which?

Hi Les,
This is great fun!
I don't normally like ghosts but knowing they are there makes it a lot easier.

Not sure if one could call it a beer exactly, but it brewed, & made with honey.

SB: "it is brewed"

Up too late.

@Busby It's the common Dutch stuff.

"brewed" is the anagrind. See above for the beer.

Thanks Syzygy.
I was trying to post something about the other word I had and my crappy old laptop disconnected again.
Cheers
