hello. SWMBO DID allow me to have my crossword period! I helped her get ready for the big day. I must say I am really looking forward to it. Just as. I used to do when I was younger. After Mass, His Nibs and his Momma (and a number of SWMBO's friends ) are coming for the meal which promises to be a really good do. And then she and I are are going to His Nibs's house on St Stephen's Day. Might not sound exciting to you but it's giving me little tremors of excitement. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday
As is my way, I have one answer I'd like an explanation for please.
"one moaning about sensitivity in buccaneer" The answer seems to be "sea robber". I see somber and a buccaneer is a sea robber. But where do "ear" and "sensitivity" fit in please?

Ear -- sensitivity (music say) inside Sobber, one moaning.
S ea r inner.
Auto correct went a bit crazy there - sorry!

Sorry, but does "ear" mean "sensitivity"? A new one for me (but that's not new!)

Sorry but that was a question. Can anyone help me please?

One definition of 'ear' is 'the faculty of distinguishing sounds, especially of a different pitch'. That seems to equate with 'sensitivity'. Many musicians have a good ear.
I went off to check Chambers, to make sure I wasn't talking nonsense!

Thank you so much NAC. (see, I remembered!)
I don't think you were on this site when I wished people a Happy Christmas (in case SWMBO didn't let me free). So, I'll do it now. I hope you have a really joyful Christmas
steven
Thanks very much, Steven. You got rather quick, snappy replies as I'm watching television at the same time. Hope you have a great Christmas, New Year and 2019.
Question Author
Thank you. I was going to add "New Year" and 2019 next week.....

Don't forget Steven, there will be an extra Jumbo on Boxing Day. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Question Author
Thank you cashier. I certainly will NOT be doing it on Boxing Day (or St Stephen's Day as it is known chez moi) for reasons above. But then the day after? Who knows. Christmas spirit and all that...
