Good morning friends. Hope the week went well. Here are today's clues. Happy solving!
I intend to take a long break to recharge my mental batteries so this will be the last "5" until mid September. 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. Human being with a supernatural power associated with people and things (4)

2. Authorized short run? (3,2)

3. Subdue first then corner an American underground construction worker (7)

4. Force 10 (perhaps) on board? (5,4)

5. Sales talk about gear-changes at home trial for food processor (5,9)

Good morning jolan, I trust you're well and I hope you find plenty of time during your break for what you consider (1 man's meat ...........) life's pleasantries. Mid September diaried.
I only have the even numbers on first read [#2 :-) ] and I look forward to tussling with the others.

hi Jolan
Only #2 on first reading.
Will try for the others.
Too hot to think here :)

Only have #3 to go. #1 new to me. Thanks jolan enjoy your break.

Hi ginge and Jazzy. Nice to see you both. Ginge seems to be 'motoring', eh? See you later. Outside air temp here 24° C. Cloudy with occasional sunny spells.

and #4 (I think)

Hi jolan
Swift break for lunch from gardening. Don't see any at first reading.

If I don't look in again, have a good break, and we'll look forward to September.

I may have #4 - I wonder if it's the same answer that jazzy's unsure of (It's the second word).

hi Chrise
Yes, second word I am unsure of

Lovely, as per, jolan. #3 also new to me but shouldn't trouble aristo. Cheers.
