Hello, it,s me again, stuck on a three letter clue, my last one too.
3d. setter,s following rivers edge, it has to be a vowel, but which one eh??
r?m

[MargoTester]

Rim

[thistles]

I guessed that rim was the edge, but did not want to put it in just in case, why do I get stuck on such small clues when I can usually manage the others, who knows, old age I guess. Many thanks xxx

[MargoTester]

I - being the setter of the clue. Rim being the edge

[dannyk13]

Old age is subjective

[Sipowicz]

.....old age grows on you!

[MargoTester]

You're welcome thistles. I often have the same problem with the small clues.

[dannyk13]

Parse is. r(river) + I'm (setter's)

[thistles]

you could well be right Danny

[dannyk13]

Very succinct Sippo:-)

[MargoTester]

As my dear old Mum used to say 'old age does not come alone' how right she was!

[thistles]

My mum said the same thing too.

[dannyk13]

Can you explain that Margo?

[thistles]

Usually it means that things like slowing down, etc., getting a wee bit slow in your thinking when you get older, which is not always the case.i still think that I am 18 years old and not 72 years old.

[mallyh]

found out it's a welsh proverb but the site has gone .

[MargoTester]

I guess she meant loss of memory and all the various aches and pains etc etc

[MargoTester]

Ah that would explain it Mally my Mum was Welsh.

[dannyk13]

Thanks Margo:-)

Glad I'm not the only one who gets defeated by the short answers
