Think French.

As in par eux-mêmes, then add a J to that? Or, bung in the letter 'a' and voila, it's water! Actually, take no notice, this doesn't make much sense, perhaps a clue - are all elements musical?

Yes they are and I feel you should stay in the game.

[vinteuil]

... in these sort of cases, it's usually Debussy

[Flay]

Cloughie playing games with us again???

[cloughie]

Cloughie playing games with us again???

Mais oui!

[vinteuil]

1 is!

so it might be - jeux d'eau - jeux d'enfants - jeux

[cloughie]

so it might be - jeux d'eau - jeux d'enfants - jeux

Oui - les trois!

Maintenant le K!

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh that's very good... Smacking my forehead here. Tidy puzzle, tidy answer

And yet again, at 14:24, for the second time in days I handed it to youi guys on a plate! The J in front of eux-mêmes? I just point that out to prove that I, at least, are keeping up at the back! Actually, I held back because I thought Flay was going to go for it. How was Glasgow Flay, a City I have never visited.

[vinteuil]

le K!

... which might connect sixth century English shepherds - twelfth century Italian shepherds - and an eighteenth century deer...

I just think you held back because you didn't want to service a K!

When did you last set a letter, Anna?

Oh, quite a few weeks back cloughie but I've been away a lot over the past few weeks dealing with family situations and therefore loss of online access plus a virus. No, I'm not complaining, happy to be one of the backroom boys for a while .... I find this thread great fun even if I may only lob in the occasional suggestion at the moment.

[mercia]

an eighteenth century deer...

is that a panting hart ?

[vinteuil]

is that a panting hart ?

... well, it might be a hart, but I'm not sure whether here it is particularly in pant mode. It is not, if that is what your were thinking, a biblical hart that pants...

EDIT - viz, not Psalm 42 or Handel...
