Engineer shut yard for some time (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thursday

'some time' is the definition.

'engineer shut yard' is the wordplay.
'engineer' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shut'+'yard'='shutyard'
'shutyard' anagrammed gives 'THURSDAY'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thursday that I've seen before include "Shut yard (anag.)" , "The Man Who Was -- (G.K. Chesterton)" , "twenty-four hours" , "child born then has far to go" , "Chesterton's man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
