Crossword Genius

Ordered temp's beer for a few weeks (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

september

'a few weeks' is the definition.

'ordered temp's beer' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'temps'+'beer'='tempsbeer'
'tempsbeer' with letters rearranged gives 'SEPTEMBER'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for september that I've seen before include "The longest month?" , "Tempers be changed this month?" , "It follows 3" , "about 4 weeks" , "- Song (Kurt Weill)" .)
