Hi jolan
I only see #4 at first reading, but rain forecast for this afternoon, so I should have more time to consider the others.

Hi Jolan,

I hope you and Helen are well.

Once again I have to be out on a Tuesday afternoon.

However, I have worked out #4 and will look in later.

Hi Rossim and Chris and thank you R, we're both doing OK.

2 immediate #4's. My anag didn't last long, eh?

Popping in to say hello. I see 1 and 4, but the first thing that comes to mind for 5 doesn't quite work- yet. Same for 2.

Good afternoon jolan, only got #1 on reading but think I see light at the end of (most likely) a long tunnel with #s 2,4 and 5.

Hi Ari!

First rain for quite a while just started here. Great for garden. I'm off now to have the flu jab. Ouch!

I have printed off the clues and will ponder while having lunch . Beautiful sunny, warm, Autumn equinox here.
