[paulineward]

Only just getting round to this! This one seems like it is an anagram, but I can't see it...and it will give me a good start...thanks
In which rotter Lembit chap already looks ridiculous (3,7,8,5)..If you are there Kayakamina, kettledrum...or anyone!

[kayakamina]

I think you are improving every week . As i've said before it is just practice and experience.

Cheers and see you soon....K

Thanks K for the help and the encouragement. I used to avoid cryptics, but quite enjoy trying to work them out now...know I've got a long way to go though!

Am trying to get the clue of the week and then I am finished. It is...Minister concerned with passports etc (4). I am going to try and get it myself...an extra clue might help, and then if I don't get it by tomorrow night I might post to ask you. It is probably really easy!

Goodnight...and thanks!
take care Pauline x

[kayakamina]

Helen..my eldest daughter has just accused me of cheating!!!!...asking you for my answers!
She then went into hysterics, as my laptop shut itself down waiting for your answer! How can I concentrate with such distractions!!!

[paulineward]

How are you doing kettledrum??

[kayakamina]

Tell her you are just confirming a few of your answers and helping me with mine!

Good night. K

[paulineward]

Thanks so much...goodnight! sleep well. I will now!!!

[kettledrum]

Hi Pauline ! I thought you'd finished, so I went off and watched Foyle's War on my newly acquired television. Glad you've finished it now. Sleep well. Kettledrum

Goodnight kettledrum. Will catch up during the week. Hope you enjoyed the crossword. Details to subscribe were on the same page. Not a bad mag actually...contains the best of all articles from various papers throughout the week. I quite enjoy it...when I get time to read it!!!
