If answer is mindress, what is 15 across? I have vermicelli which fits with everything else. Thanks for promt reply, I know you are usually spot on with your answers.

[paulineward]

Sorry spelling error on my part,...minidress. Too hasty with the keyboard! Apologies.

[paulineward]

Hi Dee...couldn't get away with one of them either!!!
How's Penelope?

[addict]

many thanks to you all for such prompt help. Have finished super early today, as I managed to buy paper at 7.30! Had to talk eldest son gliding! Have a good day

[paulineward]

Did you go gliding too addict? sounds fun!

Hi paulineward
poor Penelope is still in intensive care, she did revive and fluttered her eyelashes a bit,and just when I was composing a news flash she went dead on me again[ the undertaker is going to waive his fee until we are sure], so its back to the radiator for one last warm up.
I must look in the wardrobe to see if my "black" is suitable for the memorial service, I have a nice black hat too and I need someone to do the eulogy if things turn out for the worst.
Thanks for asking after my nearest & dearest.

It was called a tunic in my school days but that was ages ago.
