Good morning friends. Hope the week went well. Plenty of sunshine here but still quite cool, especially in the breeze. This is my penultimate 5@5 before I take a long summer break. Hope you enjoy the challenge. J

I set clues just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. “To win only” is attached to the bill? (2,3,4)

2. Picked out deep cider-pink rare flower of Russian origin (7)

3. Whacked an ace, splitting racket (4,2)

4. No supplement to psalms pack found in church (4,3)

5. Pry into chapters and records of Newton, say (6,5)

Hi Jolan. Great stuff I'll print them off. Crocked so again no golf for me....must be getting old!

Good morning jolan, similar weather here not that it makes much difference as I'm wallpapering today. I've got #s 1-3 and will ponder over the other 2 as a welcome distraction to the accompanying sounds of "Deep Purple".

Hi Andy (NEVER!) and Ginge (the colour of the wallpaper?). I've tried to make 'em fairly straightforward today (apart from #5). I'm definitely going out to do some gardening today. CU ltr. J

Hi jolan
Just #2 and #3 at first look.

It should be dry enough (at last) to garden this afternoon.

Hi Chris and welcome. Off out now to 'do a bit'.

Good afternoon jolan.
Just back from lunch.
I have only #2

Very late start (been sweeping millions of soggy maple keys off the roof after a downpour). Only see a few, and as usual the #$@^%(& site isn't cooperating.

Hi jolan, now got them all and it was only after twigging #5 my "déjà vu" kicked in. I won't spoil it for others by giving the date when you used something similar. As we "discussed" previously near duplication is inevitable at some point. As always your efforts are much appreciated and I'm already looking forward to next week.

Hi Ginge/Jolan if you get 5 does that make you one?
