Re-Starting Clue Chain - all welcome 😊 (credit to the game's originator, miser).

The idea of the game is that the (amateur) setter (that's you !) poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve. This is a fun thread, and we want your ideas, however bizarre 😉, so preferably no cribbing from professionals.

The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own clue, easy or cryptic.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, it helps if the setter posts a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.  

Experience shows the game runs in fits and starts now, but none the worse for that IMHO.

Happy solving 😊

 

 

The first clue of this iteration is :-

Does this bookstore dilute the melodies (11)
