Hi elle
Was it about Malvolio being "cross-gartered"?

Good morning, Rusty!
Dull here, with showers threatened later!
I too have done all my jobs!
I was awake by 5.20am, so decided to get up!
I have dealt with the washing and the cleaning...and taken the dog out for her walk!
I have also finished the Times Jumbo GK.
I hope I can manage the 15 x 15 today!
Yesterday's was beyond me.
Oh, and I have cut my fringe - it was getting a bit too shaggy to see out!
Yes, BGT and Casualty!
Nothing planned as yet..........taking the day as it comes.......
Have you Sport to watch today?

Hello, Elle!
Scottish Grand National to watch but that's about it.
Plenty tomorrow, though!
And next week is the Tour de Yorkshire which I am looking forward to.
It clashes with the Tour de Romandy, but I hope there are top riders in it, and there's always the scenery!
Just heard that the Italian rider, Michele Scarponi, has been killed.
He was in a collision with a van whilst out training.
He won a stage of the Tour of the Alps on Monday.
I have done a couple in today's puzzle.
I am sure you shall do well with it!

Hi, Rusty!
Right, update.......
I have all but completed today's 15 x15 - I found it much simpler than I did yesterday's.
I am undecided about 7a?
I have O?S? Is it Omsk or Orsk for Russian city?
I cannot parse it? or am I way off beam?
And 17a?
My crossers lend me to think it is "seventy-eight"?
But I cannot see why?
Then apart from not being able to parse "alimony" for "maintenance" in 5d, I have finished!
The sun has at last come out....and so far...no rain!

Hello, Elle,
Your 7a is one of several I have done.
Zero is "o" plus "m(in)sk.
Capital lacking "in".
Giving "Omsk".
A "seventy-eight" was a vinyl record usually containing music on each side of the record.
They were placed on a turntable and a needle picked up the music and played it through a loudspeaker.
5d, Have you heard of a "stretch" limo?
A very long car.
"Some" could be "any", with "limo" cut into it.
Alimony.
I have a few to do, yet.
You have done very well, Elle!
