Whilst moving this puzzle about, full of palindrome strands and thermometers alike, I accidentally dropped it - causing all of the thermometers to smash! Now I don't know which were which, and worse still, some extra thermometer bulbs may have fallen on in the chaos. Fortunately, the broken bulbs seem to have morphed their properties to accommodate, so perhaps not all hope is lost.

Fill each row, column, and region with the numbers 1-9 once each. Regions are to be deduced. No region may cover any 4x2 (or 2x4) area of space.

In the grid there are 7 grey lines, each of which is either a thermometer or a palindrome strand. It is to be determined from which end each thermometer rises.

There are more thermometers than palindromes, and no two thermometers sprout from their bulb in the same direction. Also, a thermometer must be entirely contained within a single region.

Palindrome: Digits along the grey line read the same from both directions. Thermometer: Digits strictly increase from the bulb end to the tip.

The circles in the grid are now glass baubles. A region cannot contain exactly 1 bauble. The numbers inside the baubles within a region form a single consecutive string of digits.(You can read off the baubles in a region in any order). For example, for a region with only 2 baubles, those two digits could read 45, or 89, etc. The rest of the digits in the region are unaffected by baubles.

This is what I had in mind when experimenting with the classic thermo. This is a little trickier - it will put up resistance until the end. Enjoy the solve!
