Daydream about tan den? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brown study

'daydream' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tan den?' is the wordplay.
'tan' becomes 'brown' (I've seen this before).
'den?' becomes 'study' (I've seen this before).
'brown'+'study'='BROWN STUDY'

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for brown study that I've seen before include "Contemplative reverie" , "Deep reverie" , "Deep thoughtfulness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
