Hello, Jolan. Only see 1, 2 and 4 right off. I'll be back though...

Hi Jolan have 1-3 but don't see 4 and 5 yet

Hi also to imagcq (& Ta), and Ari. Welcome Fieryjack, hope you enjoy this wee thread.

Can't tell you how delighted I am about #5 (lol)

Since emailing Ash/Norah; the advt problem disappeared (almost at once). Coincidence or what?

Good afternoon jolan
I had to go out at 11.30 am and have only just returned. I see #2 on first read-through but will persevere.

Good afternoon Jazzy. Nice to see you x

Hi jolan, as you can see, a very late start for me and I only got #s 1 & 3 on reading. Assuming the other 3 show your usual guile it's highly unlikely I'll solve them before 5 but I'll look back in when I have answers to either congratulate myself or slap my forehead with an accompanying "DOH"!

What a smug one you are, Jolan. I have the first four (I think), and something immediately came to mind for 5, but I'm not sure about the parse. Been running in and out, but hope I can get onto the site at 5:00 (aaargh!).

I'll try YET AGAIN to post this...

Cheers Jolan I think I've cracked it o sneaky one

1- TRUMPETER S?
2- NUTRIAS (subtractive anagram)
3- B EW ITCH
4- AU BAD E
5- SET PIECE?

no progress on first impression

2 nutrias - subtractive anagram naturalists - salt

4 aubade - au astronomical unit, bad = high (i wasn't sure about this bit) e - note

thanks jolan - apologies for minimalist typing - cat on lap
