Wordle 1,701 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Stroke of genius on line 3. Chuffed with that - it wasn’t looking good

Today (and tomorrow), I am playing albums entitled “Love”. Went through The Beatles, Aztec Camera, and this… Isn’t this one of the sexiest LPs ever?

All you need is…

Wordle 1,700 4/6 ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Another 4.

My lovely wife, @jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social has just been appointed the head judge for the brand new World Shortbread Champoinships!

Wordle 1,699 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just another work out for a 4.

Yup.

I think we need to do the snowdrop walk at Conon Bridge, @jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social

There, that wasn’t so hard now, was it?

Wordle 1,698 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Struggled. I should have had coffee first.

Practice night at the curling. Suddenly feels less niche.

Spreading some love this week.

Once more, while Doing something via an App on my iPhone, I’ve been stopped by a message telling me that a code has been emailed to me, and I need it to continue. Am I the only one that doesn’t have their emails on their phones?

Wordle 1,697 3/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That’s a 3. Been a while.

Bloody hell, Sweden played well.

Curling is go.

Happy Great Tit Day to all who celebrate.

Booked curling practice at the ice rink tomorrow. It’s going to feel like a gym in January, isn’t it?

Wearing slim fit jeans today. These are jeans I used to wear daily, but these days I tend towards loose, oversized workwear. They feel like compression pants! My wee legs look so skinny! This is weird.

Wordle 1,696 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That took too long.

I’m posting another dog walk pic, this time by me. They seem to be great for extending my reach here, so it might be that if I was to post something profound or witty, more people will applaud. But it’s probably just going to be more dog pics.

Wordle 1,695 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟨⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Another 4, but could have been worse.

Not where it started, but when it became A Thing.

Tonight’s Dog Walk Pic from the boy.

Wordle 1,694 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Inspired line 3 gave me a 4.

Just woke up to crazy notifications. Did I post something funny? Did I post something wise? I posted a dog pic. Everyone loves a dog pic.

Dog walk pic from The Boy. Happy dog. Pic sent to me and @jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social

This isn’t going to go well.

Er…

Spent some money at Bandcamp today, buying some brand new electronic twiddling from Falkirk. #bandcampfriday

Wordle 1,693 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Not obvious, so glad I managed to work it out.

The boys from Falkirk have been twiddling knobs again. Nice electro work-outs. You might recognise some faces, @eddiemckenzie1970.bsky.social

Wordle 1,692 5/6 🟩⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Now THAT was frustrating.

Considering listening to this tonight. Was big the year I went to Glasgow Uni to study engineering. This was v popular with engineers, many of which had these brand new CD players. Kind of hated it since, but was just on West Wing, and actually… it was good. open.spotify.com/album/6Pz06F...

Is it me, or is the @financialtimes.com really upping its game these days?

Please be true.

Wordle 1,691 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 So close to a 3!

Wordle 1,690 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That felt hard.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, but… Listening to early Toyah, an album I bought after the poptastic Anthem. I guess it was my first introduction to a Goth sensibility that I was to fully embrace a few years later. (I think this led to Souxsie’s Nocturne)

I’ve just reposted @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com This is something I was discussing with friends as recently as this week. Everything about the accusations felt wrong, but I worried I was biased because of my warm fuzzy feelings towards NG. Still wary but there does now seem to be a conversation.

The dog walks are getting louder.

Wordle 1,689 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That took wayyy to long, and I did a stupid thing around L3. Got there though. J got a 2.

Watching West Wing at the point where the shootings kick off. Amazing TV, shocking, terrifying and so well written and acted. Traumatised.

Wordle 1,688 4/6 🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Attacked with reckless abandon, and little thought. Happy with a 4.

Wordle 1,687 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Discarded right answer after overthinking it.

Music/poetry people. I had a bit of poetry on a compilation tape, late 80s. I think it was recoded off John Peel. Google etc just suck these days, so going to try Bluesky HiveMind…

Noooooo!

Wordle 1,686 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That should have been 4. Over thought it.
