It took me a few minutes for the third guess but I'm glad I took my time. Three Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,742 3/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This really hits home. ✍️

Time’s sleek time machine With only the forward gears Pushing it onward

The earlybird Wordler catches the word! Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,740 2/6 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Good lads...

Early stroll. A security light’s harsh glance. The stillness of a parked van. A pencil on the pavement; a pavement pencil, if you will. That tree wears a pink shirt. Temporary traffic lights: tomato, satsuma, apple.

Perilously close! Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,739 6/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I think this was a tough word but I got very lucky with my two regular starter words. They left only the answer to find, and though I had to check if this was actually a word, I managed a very satisfactory Three Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,738 3/6 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Pop onto Michelle's site for loads more stunning photography of this magical part of the country. You won't be disappointed.

WORD FACT The word “alchemy” comes to us — via Old French and Medieval Latin — from Arabic “al-kimiya”. The “al” here simply means “the”. [1/3]

This is great, even by Anthony's very high standards. 😊✍️

Early stroll. Turning that corner is like turning a page. Someone is hauled along by two dogs. The GIVE WAY sign’s shouty triangle. A shattered bottle’s sharp goodbye. A bearded man stares at the sky.

I ditched my second starter word after a strong start, and looking back at the game it wouldn't have helped to play it. That said, it was a stinker of a game where I just couldn't pin down that last letter. Five Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,737 5/6 ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Shameless link to an article I wrote about the 1977 Jubilee. If you haven't read it before then please click on the link. You have to, it's a Bluesky rule, I think. 😉

Happy World Poetry Day! Here's one of my favorites. May share more throughout the day.

What a great photo. 📸 These kids would be about my age by now. I wonder how it worked out for them? I wonder if any of them can still do a headstand? 🤔

Early stroll. Mist’s seeming heaviness of touch. Small changes noticed, unnoticed. So many pops in one small apple. A hooded man ghosts by. A cat the colour of my shoes.

Continuing my good form. Three Club for the second consecutive day, three times from the last four. This was a lucky 8/1 guess but I suppose they all count. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,736 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

What’s it going to take for people to realize we’ve got Biff Tanner in the White House?

Pleased to have a couple of cartoons in the new edition of Private Eye. Here's my attempt to bring world peace from the previous issue.

I had such a good start I decided to ditch my second regular starter word, and today it paid off. Three Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,734 3/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Here it is - my newborn poem.

If anyone knows of a room or flat to rent in the West of England for a house trained man and a little black and white cat, please let me know x

I'm not the world's greatest royalist but then that makes no difference when you organize a surprise message from the King to my royalist parents on their 60th wedding anniversary. They were chuffed to bits. 👑✍️📨 I hid the guillotine. 😉😂

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

I somehow failed to post my Three Club effort from yesterday. I know Wendy likes to keep the scores recorded. ✔️ Today I went one club lower and find myself in Four Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,733 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

America is in the middle of a nervous breakdown.

Airborne Wordle. We waved farewell to the magnificent Taurus Mountains and, indeed, we waved farewell to Turkey itself. I managed to gain access to Four Club. We have now safely arrived back in England and are home. 😊🇹🇷🏔️⛱️✈️🏡 Wordle 1,731 4/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Yesterday we went to a shopping outlet called Land Of Legends. It was about 15 minutes down the road from our hotel. Calling it a shopping outlet is really doing it an injustice. There were castles, gondolas, fountains, a theme park, hotels, apartments, & of course the ubiquitous Marks & Sparks. 😂🇹🇷

I forgot to do Wordle yesterday and consequently lost my (rather low) winning streak. I'm back today, however. Four Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,729 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Since I've arrived in Turkey I've landed in Five Club every day! Testament surely to the nulling effects of alcohol and the sun on the Wordling brain. Take heed. 😂🇹🇷⛱️🍻 Good luck everyone! Wordle 1,727 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Turkey's proving hotter than expected. We just spent 3 hours by the pool and now I'm having a beer and a sit-down after all that relaxing. The restaurant calls, for a bite to eat, and some of the gang are visiting Antalya Old Town. Mum and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary celebrations tomorrow. 🍾

Turkish Wordle is proving more difficult. Must be the time difference. 😂 Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,726 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Not quite my Turkish delight. 🇹🇷 Five Club from the Mediterranean delight which is Antalya. ⛱️ Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,725 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Greetings from Antalya, Turkey. Where the weather is warm and the welcome is warmer. 🇹🇷☀️

Window seat. Sorted. Off to Turkey we go. 😊🇹🇷

Early stroll. Mist plays with distance. The satsuma I am eating wanes like the moon. A red plastic square on the pavement. The hill welcomes my footsteps. That tree’s sapling dreams.

Nothing from my first starter word. Just about happy enough with Five Club. Good luck everyone. 😊🤞 Wordle 1,723 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This has it all. Snippets of life, and death. Strong, working-class women dealing with life in a no-nonsense way. Fascinating programme. If you love @imcmillan.bsky.social and his paper shop posts then give this a go.

Rorschach Challenge. A little light play tonight - what do you see folks?

Redemption at last! My second guess meant that the yellow tile could only go in the fourth space and made the third guess much easier. Good luck everyone, 😊🤞 Wordle 1,722 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
