The "random" Lola is a classic song, and a banger, but unfortunately there are two very famous songs about Lolas.

[@thorneto2742]

You did not just call Lola by The Kinks "some random song" lol

More stretching demos, please! Haha, just messing with you :) The "oo" in Moog Synthesizers is pronounced as a long O, like "boat" and it rhymes with vogue. "adue" is actually "a due", Italian meaning literally "for two", and pronounced "ah-DO-a" with a long A. "sinew" is technically the tissue that connects muscle tissue, but to say someone is "sinewy" means they're muscular. As I said the other day, you've made astounding progress in the past 2~ weeks - keep it going!

There are two parts of a church that show up in crosswords: APSE and NAVE. I can never tell which they want with any clue until I get a crossing letter. You should probably pencil the S at the ends of plurals; it messed you up when you had an S at the end of "Heaps of dressing?" because it looked plural. It's a good guess, but not a reason to rule out LAUNDRY.
