Slink and sulk around for the weekend (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skulk

'slink' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sulk around for the weekend' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'the weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sulk' with letters rearranged gives 'skul'.
'skul'+'k'='SKULK'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for skulk that I've seen before include "Move secretly" , "Lurk or loiter stealthily" , "Lie in wait" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
