Well done mattrom and thanks to Paul.

Apologies also to The Ambler - you were on my spreadsheet with your two votes - have to put the omission on the posting down to sheer exhaustion I'm afraid!

Looks like you've done it again Mattrom, well done!

Congratulations mattrom and thanks to paul for hosting.

Thanks Paul for an interesting word , hardly any definitions or synonyms. I completely forgive you for forgetting me!!!!! Thanks to chrise and seamus for some votes – the first since 2015!!!
