Having trouble in successfully posting an image since my laptop has undergone alterations. Please would another member continue as, following two hours of struggling, I have had to give-up.

A good one Beachbum.  I liked the clue even if I did go in the wrong direction with it.  What a coincidence that your clue was also the title of a book by a person with Thanet as a surname.

Hi John Walker, please explain where Octave Thanet is mentioned?


Journey of Life is that a reference to Palliative care?
