Swig it is...

Lovatts May Demon
On the subject of Lovatts May Demon, I've a few queries of my own..
'crest-to-crest radiation measure' (22D) L_V_L_ _ G_ H is all I've got so far, and LEVELENGTH springs to mind but I know that is not correct.

'body of work' (64D) _ _ NON. I have NO idea with that one.

'Noble rot fungas' (122A) B_TRY_IS

I've got stacks more that I don't know the answers to but don't want to abuse your generosity. If I still can't figure out the others then I'll be back begging for more help. :wink:

Hi Vonda1941

22d = wavelength

64d = canon

122a = botrytis

Hope this helps

Thanks heaps... yes.. it surely did help.
What puzzles me is the connection between 'body of work' and the answer which is 'canon'. I just don't get it.

Now I'm wondering about 'comparative example' (109D) > so far I've managed to get ADA_O_ _

And as for 'wretchedness' (133A) I think I may as well give up altogether.
I've managed to conjure up M _ _ X _ _

Prolonged assult (5D) S _ A _ E is another one I can't figure out.

Somehow I don't think I am cut out for this caper.
Big sighs.. V.

Hi Vonda

109d = analogy

133a = misery

5d = siege

This was a very difficult Demon.

A body of religious writings is called a canon.

I sent you a message, did you open that?

Good luck

Thanks heaps Lezzles for your great effort in trying to help me understand the connection between 'body of work' and 'canon'. The way Dutchy explained it was more in tune with my mediocre comprehension if you get my drift.
And finally I figured out how to locate the message Dutchy sent me via a PM. Talk about THICK.... oh well, it's good that I can learn something new every day.
BTW.. I tried to send Dutchy an email ... to the email address he left in his PM... and it bounced back, undelivered.
Me thinks the stuff after @ is wrong... Can you please check Dutchy?
I think that "@yahoo.au.com" is wrong... I think it should be @yahoo.com
I'll wait for a reply from you, or I could try again.
Thanks to you all. vonda.

Have left you another message Vonda. btw. Lezzles is a brilliant cruciverbalist.

Received your message ok Dutchy, and noted your caution well. I try hard to do the right thing at all times.
Am still having problems though with getting the address correct.
AH HA... or however you type that out... THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED.. and I shall shortly tell you what went wrong.
