Hi friends. Sorry for missing today. I've said why, on the other thread.

How about accepting this one for Wednesday @ 5?

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) WEDNESDAY to allow others to have a go.

1. Put on, or taken away from, alien (5)

2. Unusual papal observers stipulate new centres for tropical disease (5)

3. Club guard breaks up unforgivable con (4-9)

4. Set to emerge from Prince Harry’s engagement? (6,5)

5. Capacity to hold back party blocks Newton, perhaps (6,5)

Good Morning jolan and earlybirds.
I have #2 at first read through.

Thanks Jolan.
I also have #2 on the first read through.

Good morning Jolan - glad to see that nothing is amiss. I hope your friend is recovering well.

I have #1 & 2 on first read and will now concentrate on the others. Hopefully I will be able to post today @ 5 :)

Good morning jolan, and yes I'm sober, I trust you're well this fine morning (well it is here in Glasgow). I also see #s 1 & 2 so far.

I also have #1.
Unfortunately I need to do some shopping now but will look in later.

Just taking a peek; can't do this on Wednesdays. See 1 and 2, possibly 5 but must be wrong. Off to work.

Hi Jolan, 1 and 2 only so far.

Hi Jg, Rossim, RE (Ta!), ginge, Ari (I'll do my best to ensure Tuesday),and Andy.

I'm trying to grade them in difficulty, going from 1 to 5. Hope I succeed. Just got home and peeking in prior to getting the mower out for the second mow before some expected rain. See you later. J

Suddenly the penny has finally dropped on #1
