Hi swalk56

I suggest "snails" for 49d, and "swift" for 66a. Perhaps someone else can confirm my answers.

Regards Dutchy

Thank you Dutchy
My first guess was both answers you've nominated but for whatever reason I didn't feel comfortable with them.

Having read your posts over a period of time I'm prepared to go with your answers.

Thanks again

Hi Swalk56 and Dutchy,

It's nice to meet you Swalk56!

49D. Blocks = Anvils
five = v (in roman numerals)
nails + v is an anagram of 'anvils'

66A. Fast = Swift
does it fly fast = swift (bird)
Definition. Swift- A small plain-coloured bird that resembles a swallow and is noted for its rapid flight

Hello all!

That's what I came up with too.

See you later.

Hi Everybody

I'm pleased I ask someone to verify my suggestion, full marks again to you Butterfly, I cannot fault your reasoning. Thank you also lezzles, I'm sure swalk56 will settle for your answer, and so will I for that matter.

Regards Dutchy

Hi Dutchy,

Can you check the 'Jan Colossus- Stinker' thread for me, as Farkha has left a Christmas message there for you and I didn't want you to miss it!

Hope you have a nice evening.

Talk to you soon.
Take care. Warm regards, Butterfly

Hi Butterfly

What can I say, thank you so much for letting me know about Farkha's message, you are such a thoughtful lady.
