Fascinating.

Worth visiting if you have 247 hours to kill and have existential doubts about your own back story.

Wordle 1,556 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, that was a tough start to the day. By line 4, I was thinking it would be a massive fail!

Wordle 1,555 5/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Should have been 3. Or 4.

Wordle 1,554 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was tough, not helped by stupid mistake in line 3

12 years ago, @jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social said yes. I’m so glad I asked.

Customer in. Hasn’t been in the area for a while. I asked if he’d noticed any changes. “I see they’ve built a bridge out of Inverness. Has it affected your trade much?” It was opened in 1982.

Wordle 1,553 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I thought that might become a long chase for the right combination.

Wordle 1,552 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was more challenging than expected.

Very proud of my lovely sister on this. She’s a natural. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Wordle 1,551 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was a cruel one. Too many double letters.

Hay, hay, hay…

Wordle 1,550 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟨🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Not great, but I’ll take it.

Have @bsky.app stopped video content, or is there an issue? Trying to post a vid of the rain.

I needed that.

Introduced The Boy to Lawrence of Arabia last night, as part of his plan to watch the 100 top films of all time. Watched up to the intermission, and will watch the rest tonight. Mostly stands the test of time, with amazing photography, but Europeans as Arabs is so jarring these days.

Strands #561 “For a fortune” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵🔵🔵 I feel there may be matters of complaint to the NYT about this one from certain US institutions.

Wordle 1,549 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Good start to the week.

Wordle 1,548 6/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Bloody hell. It was a long week, and this is the first chance to lie in. Still no excuse for that!

Wordle 1,547 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Fair enough. That was a 4/6 one.

Just pressed the phone to the window to check for #aurora activity. Not sure there is, but cool pic…

It’s getting Autumny out there. #DogWalk

Wordle 1,546 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Oh, the disappointment of that last letter not being green on line 3!

Wordle 1,545 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Ok, i’ll take that. I shouldn’t be disappointed.

2 years ago, The Boy had one of those lovely, unexpected, moments that he’ll never forget… …and so did @jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social and I. (and yes, @nigella.bsky.social is as lovely as you think she is)

Wordle 1,544 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Stupid, sleepy mistake in line 2 didn’t help, but I’ll take the 4.

A Muir of Ord Stand Off.

Wordle 1,543 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Like a square sausage, I’m on a roll.

Wordle 1,542 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Good start to a Monday.

So, finally the alert has gone out that the fascists are rising.

I’m thinking up responses that can be summarised by saying “That’s the Chicago way!” in a Connery accent.

Wordle 1,541 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was a struggle, but hey, it’s Sunday, and I wasn’t doing anything else.

Wordle 1,540 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Tougher today, but got there.

Trying to capture the weird-ass moon this evening.

I had a US tourist in yesterday, complaining that I’d put chocolate on her cappuccino. Apparently, they don’t put chocolate on cappuccinos in the US. This doesn’t seem right to me, but I’m happy to be proved wrong.

Wordle 1,539 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Unexpected 3/6. Good second start word.

In the words of The Cramps, they’ve got gooooood taste.

September dog walk.

Wordle 1,538 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 V. happy with that.

Looks like a great sunset on the west coast this evening.

Wordle 1,537 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Second line was hasty, and ill thought through. That’s my excuse for it not being a 3/6 day.

Wordle 1,536 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, that was unexpected.

That’s made driving around a really enjoyable experience.

Wordle 1,535 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that’s annoying. Lost my 3/6 streak with this one letter lottery.

Wordle 1,534 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Still on a 3/6 roll…

51 minutes into #ThursdayMurderClub, including a brief snooze. I’m done. The cream of senior British acting talent utterly squandered on a pointless, humourless exercise. And Ron? Ron? Really? Quite stunning miscasting.
