Hello. Glorious day here except that His Nibs has had to work all day (so that he can watch the match tonight) as his last exams are coming up! Say a prayer for him (or whatever you do). it matters so...
Just one expansion this time please.
15d Love coming in fast - the stuff of jets and rockets.
With the letters I have the answer must be "aerospace ". But I really don't get it.

Hello My (unimportant) exams are over but His Nibs still has a couple pf papers to go. We agreed to (a) go on the wagon and (b) give up sport (him) and crossies(me ) while we were swotting. I am back....
This might seem ( well,tbh, it is) an odd question. Does anyone know how many people enter the cryptic jumbo competition? I was thinking that the prizes would be great for HisNibs ( well maybe not the...
Hello. What a miserable day this has turned out to be. The temperature has dropped a lot! And this has led to SWMBO putting me backing the LJs (Andy Pandys) which I thought I'd escaped from. I know...
Hello. The sun has gone in so time to seek clarification. I hope you have all had as good a time over Easter as I have. SWMBO has been brilliant. She entertained (with support from His Nibs and me)...
hello. What a fantastic day. Holiday. No game. Beautiful weather. SWMBO and His Nibs enjoying themselves gardening. Me, a man of leisure, doing the Crossie, enjoying the delights of their labour and...
Hello. First, a word of thanks to SWMBO. A few weeks ago I moaned because she made me wear Long Johns (Andy Pandys, as I called them. ) I was embarrassed, to say the least but she was relentless. And...
Hello again. I am back after a couple of weeks' absence. A little tension between His Nibs and me. He said that I cared more about the crossword than him . I had to prove that wasn't the case and I...
Hello I hope you have all been having the weather we had today. Warm(ash) and sunny. His Nibs and I went to the park and then to the woods. It's been wonderful. I am so lucky, aren't I? Three queries...
Here we are on Monday already. I wasn't able to start it on Saturday and, when I did , I nearly gave up because I made so little progress. And then! Big breakthrough when I got "worst case scenario"....
Hello. Again a bit late. Went to see His Nibs play yesterday. He, of course, was fantastic!. (oh, a nd SWMBO released me eventually, from my Andy Pandies because the weather had improved. So,...
Hello again. A bit later than usual. After last weekend's depression because His Nibs and his mother were looking at unis in Yorkshire and my realisation that we would be spending a lot of time apart,...
Feeling a bit low. His Nibs's mother has taken him to Yorkshire (Good Thing!) to look at York and Leeds as potential unis to go to. It's not so much that I have desperately missed him this week end -...
hello again. I'm back Actually, the one that really bugged me, I have managed to work out (Ziggy Stardust). But there are others that I need help with please 30d Restless energy in reverse kicking...
Hello .I have found this a real stinker! I am just in from Mass and it will soon be bath time so I'll have to leave my queries until tomorrow (hopefully). I think the answers I have are OK but with...
sorry to ask this so late at night but it's a last clue. "Inhabitant of the Hebrides" I thought they were called Hebrideans but not so. With the letters I have the answer could be "isleman" and that...
SWMBO has just shown me an obituary (not my rush to reading usually) in today's Times of a man called Roy Dean. I expect you will all have heard of him. Not least because he holds the record for the...
