Hi Jazzgirl

I just posted a thread, but it hasn't appeared. Basically, It said I need a lot of help.

Is 11ac an anagram? Is 26ac a novel? Is 20ac a vegetable?

I also asked for hints for a couple: 23ac and 3d.

I think that was it.

Hi Roof,
Yes, yes and yes to your first set of questions.
23a for mark think grammatically and 19 is not a cross reference to another clue, 19 is less than…
3d ‘a little’ gives one letter, then literally what do judges wear

hi roof
I was in the kitchen when you posted . 26a was also serialized on TV .
I found it quite hard this week, and kept taking breaks which helps 😒

Many thanks Jono

I've now got the anagram for 11ac. I was trying to fit in hotel!

I've also got 3d, but the PDM has still to come for 23ac.

Time for my glass of wine I think.

Hi, has anyone got a hint for 1d? I was thinking it might be a synonym for Charon, but can't parse it fully.

Hi Jazzgirl

Many thanks. One of my favourite authors. I saw it on television. It does mean I've got the wrong answer for 22d which might help me with 23ac. I had an "i" at the end, which didn't give me any words.

I did have a break early on to take the leaves off my hellebores as the flowers come through.

But it is hard today.
