Good morning friends! Hope you had a good Easter period. As I get older, I'm finding it more difficult to provide clues of a decent level for the people on this site. However, here I go!. Hope these are not too easy but they're a start. 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 + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Pulse lover? (5-5)

2. Old Persian prince and son with Asian maidservant and Indian butler (9)

3. He smears fillings with soybeans and millet, preferring double-centres (8)

4. Amplify its sound level (4)

5. Secretly cut her need to run off (5-3-7)

I've seen #1 at the first reading.

Hi jolan, good to have you back and I trust you're well. Got the odd ones.

I think I have #4 too.

and #5

Good morning jolan
I have #1 and #5 at first glance. Beautiful sunny day here so I am off to sit in the garden with a coffee for inspiration

Hi jolan
Good holiday?
Lovely here today, so I probably won't be in much - I'll give them a go if I can, though!

Hi Rossim (flying through!), ginge, Jazzy and Chrise. Nice to reconnect with familiar "faces". Yes, we just toured around a bit as the mood took us. The weather was quite passable. See you later.

Welcome back, Jolan! Got 'em all.

Hi Ari. Nice to 'see' you. Well done.
