Well done Les. Please could someone parse his clue for me? I just can't see it.

Cheers Sarumite, thanks Syzzie, Ginge and Rambler for the votes.
Rosalind, One making repairs is 'mender' - with 'a' needle (needle as a verb) - to prick or pierce 'me[a]nder' / and thread - to thread through (maybe the landscape) would be to Meander.
Maybe a touch of poetic license because the surface read would have sounded slightly off-key if I'd have said 'needled' - I think it works OK but I'm always open to constructive criticism if you feel it's too weak.
Thanks for the VT Samurite, just about to eat so will catch up with it later.
See you all with a new word next weekend.
NB: I'm been working on the JE but still waiting for some to send in clues, please be patient guys and girls, i'll get back to you ASAP.
Thanks, Les40

Fair enough, Les. just too clever for me to get without a full parse. On Thursday I am going to ask everyone to parse their clues, just in case there's a tie.

Congratulations, Les.

Thanks, Sarumite. A film I've never seen.

What a clip! Still laughing. Never knew what I'd missed.
