MIMOSAS in this puzzle, ROMAINE on Wednesday, neither in me edition of Chambers (except Mimosa as a flower). Thank goodness for Google. Have to see about replacing chambers.
Good puzzle nevertheless, though I didn’t spot the nina.

The Nina definitely helped.

Otherwise, a top-class puzzle from a setter who is used far too infrequently. More Math please!

There is one I still don’t fully understand – 6D MUMM.
I remember I didn’t see the definition in the clue – the only MUMM I know is the champagne.
Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the puzzle with be today so can’t recall the exact clue. After seeing nothing else I did put in MUMM from “Greek letter” and “thousands”.

Really liked MANANA. Saw PATRICIA emerging, looked at the other column and MARGARET suggested itself. My guess tho is that they are two separate people (MA NANA?)
