I have been crypticising diligently.
Here are some more accurate results of my efforts.
Q New piece of fiction (5)
A Novel
Q Meeting up once more on a French island (7)
A Reunion
(this relied on general knowledge; post-colonial island near Mauritius.)
Q Piggy friend to whom one writes (3-3)
A pen-pal
Q Reforms only in French city
A Lyon
(anagram of 'only'; gen knowledge of French geog required! plus, what's with the Frenchness? Bloody Dominic Strauss-Kahn.)
Just realised I have lost a cryptic (or mislabelled soemthing, somewhere) because I can't find the solutions for the "pen-pal" edition...oh well!
Onwards to 'Friday'.
Q Spotted area on Adriatic Coast (8)
A Dalmatia
Q After starters, be with her for choice language (6/2)
A Either/or (I mainly got this from the use of the / !)
This was my favourite.
Q Dusty whodunnit a welcome sight at a summer barbie? (ie Barbecue) (4, 4)
A cold case

the explanations as to how you get the answers is helping me understand this far better... but i would still be completely lost!
do you feel as though you are getting better at this?
That last one totally lost me. But I'm following these better than when you first started. Your explanations help a lot. I liked the pen pal one. Clever.
