Pick up summary of events? (6)
I believe the answer is:
resume
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'pick up' is the first definition.
(I know that pick up can be written as resume)
'summary of events?' is the second definition.
(resum can mean a summary or synopsis)
(Other definitions for resume that I've seen before include "Begin where you left off" , "list of achievements in Washington?" , "Continue after interruption" , "Start again having taken a break" , "Short descriptive summary" .)
