    I will try to drag my recovery out as long as possible - they gave me a sick note and instructed me not to work for 2 weeks!

    I don't think it will take that long. Mrs Flay expects me to do all the Xmas cards and sort out my desk, and...

    At the moment I feel like a devil on one stick.

    Now back to that AA puzzle...

      I almost forgot... Ammy's P...


      What P connects a fox, a philosopher, and the devil upon two sticks?


      Was your 'one stick' reference a sign that you have an inkling?
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        In just 3 weeks you've created another 500 messages and yellow blobs! (maybe cut it back to one or two posts a month and enjoy a weekly chat and cup of tea with a trick cyclist?)

                Kind of you to track these things (rather more closely than I do). What have trick cyclists got to do with anything?

                  Well done Roslynmuse - 100% correct

                  Wynetta Singer aka Princesse de Polignac was clearly a remarkable woman, in more ways than several

                  Would you care to favour us with a Q or an R

                    Sorry to hear that you're in the sickroom with Nursey - is she bringing you junket and hot broth of the hour too

                    Seriously, I do hope that your recovery is under way and that a breakfast glass of will assist your card-writing hand

                            Happy working, Roslynmuse

                            So ... anyone else fancy setting a Q or R puzzle?

                              Might have time to set a quezzie later in the morning if no one else has..
