Hi Steff and thanks.

18a Great

24a Dance

23d Empire

54d I need the letters from the across clues to be able to guess the answer ;-(

Hi twix, yes that's the one I'm having trouble with, no letters to go on yet so it will have to wait.

All well with you and Mrs twix ?

[shaneystar2]

Could be Frederick Vine.

[twix123]

OK Steff, I'll have to wait till I get a chance to see the crossword in the morning.

We're not too bad thanks, although I'm still waiting to be called back to the hospital for a minor repair operation (which will probably stop me playing golf for another 4 or 5 months , which is galling now that the weather has started to improve !).

And you and yours ?, started to cool down a bit ?
