A personal best today. Not in terms of lines but time taken. Under a minute I reckon. Maybe I could've taken a less hurried approach and got a 3er. I know I fcked up the second line somewhat. Wordle 1,177 4/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

No, not a joke, they're meant to be funny. The operative word here is global.

I've driven down the road from Imbros to Hóra Sfakíon a couple of times, for the ferry. Talk about scenic. I feel your post holiday blues pain! Even worse coming back to this autumn drizzle in the Midlands.

I treated myself to a visit to a fancy beer shop this afternoon. The place has a vast array of unknown, (to me), beers. There are hundreds and hundreds of different ones. I'm all for craft beers, independent breweries, real ales, continental lagers etc, but it's a bit much really. I just randomly chose these, after he'd given me a couple of Milk Stouts, which is what I went in for. I found it quite daunting to be honest, being faced with such a choice of unknowns. Anyway, the couple I've had so far went down well. Especially the Peanut Butter Milk Stout, contrary to how it might sound.

Crap sweet corn. Good greens.

No not yet. In a month or so I reckon. We agreed the Autumn, once the leaves have come down at least.

Nice non-arb application of knots.

Very good!

Good work. Made me realise I was a bit lame! My normal starter is AUDIO. After that I went with a random guess, (obviously completely forgotten now), rather than a careful considered one. Lucky really that whatever it was had an S, T and R in it, otherwise I could of been on a sixer.

Talking of women's rights; old Musky boy is off again. Musk suggests support for replacing democracy with government of ‘high-status males’ WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The theory suggests that the only people able to think freely are ‘high [testostrone] alpha males’ and ‘aneurotypical people’ Got any high alpha males or aneurotypical people on here?

The irony.

Whose horses?

Whatever you do, don't forget your breathing tube if you go for one of the hardcore options.

No thanks, each to their own though. I had a mate growing up who was partial to a slab of cheddar, liberally slathered in butter and then coated with granulated sugar.

Clocks? That sounds interesting, worthy of some elaboration. Maybe one for the pottering chat.

Nice one. Hope you've not been taking tips from your mate though?!

I'd be looking at army surplus Goretex jackets. Probably tougher than anything costing a couple of hundred quid.

Premium lightweight pottering here today. Though it was fairly inevitable with a 5 year old shadow in tow all day due to a forced day off to cover another bloody school teacher training day. (There's a very generous handful every year now. I'm sure we barely had any back in the day. It grates). Leisurely breakfast followed by finishing off a jigsaw that was too hard for the lad. One job on the list was to repair a leak on an outhouse roof. It was raining this morning so I contented myself with climbing up and looking at it, poking it and thinking about it some more! No need to actually do any work today I told myself, that can wait for the weekend. Next job was to free up seized wheel bearings on his scooter. Whilst doing that he wanted to make a mallet. That necessitated clearing the inaccessible workbench. Which unearthed a little beauty that I picked up on a second hand stall months ago. That obviously then had to be cleaned up and lightly fettled. Changing the wiper blades on the van led to messing around trying to sort the dodgy cd player. A mix of mortar for various little masonry jobs around the place and then time for dinner. Plus a load of other semi-productive fly shit jobs along the way. Four pints of tea. Two mugs of coffee. Zero Stellas.
