Good morning friends. Just completed this week's offering. Seems to be getting more difficult (sands of time?). Hope they provide some mental calisthenics. Happy solving. 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) to allow others to have a go.

1. He often sees characters without shoes dressed for a holiday in France? (2,4)

2. Two daughters take note of more than one big girl’s blouse (7)

3. Simple compass-bearing craft (7)

4. Used to encourage skill (6-4)

5. About to accumulate points and praise (5,2)

Oops! Need to make a small change in #2. Sorry!

Hello, Jolan. Only see 1 right off, you devil.

Good afternoon jolan, similar to aristo I only got 1 on reading, in my case #5.

This site is driving me crazy. Love 3.

Now only looking at #s 1 & 2. Agree with aristo about #3, how appropriate!

You're on a roll, Jolan. Love the subtlety of 4 too.

Hi Jolan, hope you are well.

Just looked in and saw #1 right away.

Hi jolan
First time on the forum today (very late) I see only #4 on quick read through

Hi again jolan, I've still not got #2 but I'm off out so I'll take it with me. Will try to look in later but if I don't manage thanks, as usual extremely enjoyable.
