Not as bad as it looked. After the fourth I could only think of two possible words and with two goes left couldn't really go wrong*. Happily I got it on the first attempt

*Or so I thought.

I sometimes go to wordfinder.yourdictionary.com on completion and entered the two letters under "start with" and the last letter under "ends with" and found nine words, only six of these could be eliminated as they contained letters that were incorrect. Two of the three I had considered but there was a third. I consider it a rum word, and rather obscure and a little-used word but I was wrong to not consider it.

Caution needed

A frustrating six.

I was certain that I had it after the fourth, but could not decide if the game would play silly buggers and allow alternate spellings of a couple of words, so I played it safe. A twitchy one today.

A swift three.

Standard two openers and a tactical guess for the third.

The fourth was quite a while in coming, but in effect solved it and there remained only one possible after that

Today, at the cafe near the club, I achieved a long held ambition. I never held it enough to make it happen but if the opportunity ever presented itself I would seize it.

I ordered the day's special which was fish, chips and peas.

It was served, as one would imagine, with a small ramekin dish of tartare sauce and a small jug of gravy. I could take or leave either of these things and if offered would probably refuse both. But I was not offered, they were just there.

I was brought up to never leave food, so the tartare sauce was dispatched swiftly using three or four chips as carriers. Only an animal would pour gravy on fish and chips so I drank the gravy directly from the jug, and very nice it was too.

Initially it was very warm and had to be sipped in the manner of a cup of tea but as it cooled it could be gulped with enthusiasm. This only served to improve matters

Gravy served with fish and chips does seem highly incongruous. But tartare sauce is, in ny humble view, one of the finest condiments there is.

The fifth was obviously tactical, there were simply too many options for one word to deal with so I picked what I considered the most likely and it worked :-)

I went to the club on Saturday, for the second week in a row. This time I saw Mack, which was most pleasing. I even lifted, desultorily.
