Definition and houses came easily, but I kept trying to fit in a char! Thanks.

Thanks also to Magpie (hope you are a Geordie, even if an emigrant to the South like me.) Getting (knurl) stead of (knoll) made all the difference. URL makes more sense than using OLL (the online dictionary site which I was guessing)

19 down is humeri – upper arm bones – from hum (smell) and e(xtremely) r(otten) i(f). I think that makes 23 across knurl – kn for “extremely keen” and url as an internet address. My dictionary has it that a knurl is a small projecting knob or ridge, so it does fit with one meaning of boss

I will get used to the Notepad system eventually.
