25a Premier in battle electorally (6)? ---l--
23d Sort of watch upsetting what shouldn't be watched (4)? ---p.

Well bother everything. That's exactly what I missed last week. Slow learner!!!

Thank you vegasmad and my dear friend LiK.

Lovely weekend thank you LiK. No traumas therefore good. Sorry about Norway. Best not to think about the news.
