Good night (and good morning] friends. I'm off to the distant optician's tomorrow morning and, so, I thought I'd post "5" before hitting the sack (Monday night). I hope to be back by 5 tomorrow. I don't believe this lot are as difficult as last week's offering, but what do I know? 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 - Tuesday) to allow others to have a go.

1. Jumping every hedge, unicorn tops any fast and furious driver (4)

2. Arrangements to re-use a last site, withdrawing seats not occupied (2,7)

3. Anything manufactured in the same place as another established pair (10)

4. Solitary sour-tempered person lives in cast-off coverings (6,4)

5. Tsarist rock group? (4,7)

P.S. GMT + 1 next week

Hi from "down under" Jolan.
I'm sure I have #2, think I have #5.
Possibly my best score ever.
Thanks for the "mental workout" every week.
I haven't given up yet !!
Take care.

Morning jolan
Quite a surprise to find 5@5 already posted when I logged on this morning.
I have #2 and a great answer for #5 - this one is probably wrong, though!
Best wishes at the optician.

#4 is delightful, I'm sure you're right jazzy. Still struggling to get to grips with #3 but I will persevere.
