Good evening ladies. I suppose that I shouldn't include a preamble and the clue numbers, in order to it the enter button sooner. Although having learned to touch type 60 odd years ago, it wouldn't make much difference.

Early back from our Zoom pub tonight, although one of our regulars went with his wife to meet up with some friends at a physical pub and sent us a message that he would rather have stayed at home as it was bl...y cold sitting outside!

Sometimes what we wish for turns out not to be what we wanted.

Well done, Mamya.

Hope things are going well done under, Steff.
