Female sheep run wild in shower, perhaps (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
freshen up
'in shower perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'female sheep run wild' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'sheep'+'run'='sheeprun'
'sheeprun' anagrammed gives 'reshenup'.
'f'+'reshenup'='FRESHEN UP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for freshen up that I've seen is " Revitalise with a wash".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
