Many thanks Jackdaw - one down, two to go!
Bloise. Bise is a cold dry wind in Switzerland.
Upcheard is an obsolete word meaning encouraged.

Thanks again JD - Why didn't I look up "Bise"? - presumably I couldn't think of anything else apart from biscuit! I presume Chambers will have Bloise as hardened clay? Collins doesn't - but Chambers usually has a lot more definitions than Collins!

Thanks again JD - I thought that would be the case with upcheard.
Parsing is usually Ok but without a Chambers I often can't check the definition!
