Place cleaning implements around journalist’s retirement quarters (8)
I believe the answer is:
bedrooms
'place cleaning implements around journalist's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'retirement quarters' is the wordplay.
'retirement' becomes 'bed'.
'quarters' becomes 'rooms' (I've seen this before).
'bed'+'rooms'='BEDROOMS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedrooms that I've seen before include "Dom robes up after nights spent in them" , "Sleeping chambers" , "Sleeping areas" , "Sleeping spaces" , "Sleeping quarters" .)
