10d Embracing game partners, Bertha posed naughtily to succeed with all the men (5,3,5)

Have only just looked at this, very late this week. Had a dreadful time trying to get on this site all week. Busy periods are no chance!! Don't know what's happening! Any help to see if I can get started would be appreciated, then I will see how I progress!

Also, had to have cat put down today...had her 14 years...girls are devastated. Just got little bit of me time now...so going to give it a go!! Thanks...and if I get cut off again...don't think I am being rude if I don't reply!

thanks a lot kettledrum!
Pauline - I'm so sorry to hear about your cat, who must have been a good friend to you and the girls for all these years. This time of year is not a good time to lose a much loved animal - nor to get a replacement.
I don't think I can hack 10d ! Do you want to throw another couple of longish ones at me , & I'll do my best. I'm sorry, but I'm not in the same league as Kayakamina !
Sorry as soon as I said I couldn't do it, it came to me! Sweep the board - anag Bertha posed + E W ( Bridge partners)
Sweep the board. Anag of Bertha posed, with W(est)/E(ast) Bridge partners.

Very sorry about your cat. I hope you'll get another. Lovely to be welcomed home.

Thanks kettledrum....we have a dog as well who has grown up with the cat, and will wonder where she is I am sure..it is very sad, we got them both from animal shelters, so we know the cat has had a better life than maybe she would have done......anyway as for the crossword!...
10d stars with S and last word starts with B if that helps...only just got them.

27a It's not seating needing lots of foam (4,5) B---/----r

Ah Kayakamina - I'm glad you're there - thought you'd gone to bed, and I was feeling very slow and inadequate.
I was very sorry to read the news Pauline. I missed you over the last few days and hoped there wasn't a problem.

My best wishes.
