This week's good run has ended. Wordle 1,092 6/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 There's something about a working day where I'm up early and have to get on with stuff that seems to suit me, the speed wordler approach. Being relaxed and having more time in hand just doesn't do me any good.

Chance would be a fine thing! It'll help if any suggestions were available from a shop.

I've got Bluetooth earbuds that are great, or were great, until the gunk built up in them. Now I barely get volume in the left which is apparently due to the common issue of ear gunk filling the speaker holes. They recommend brushing with a soft brush which I tried and very slight improvement. Someone suggested hot glue, let it set and peel off but not sure if it might risk damage. Can anyone suggest a way to clean them?

On that day everyone will get it in one attempt then we start on 6 letter words?

He's just less constipated than you Mark, hasn't got hours on the bog every morning to dwell on it! Agree with the sentiment though, I'd rather fail on my own merit than have a hollow triumph every day. Found it really hard to begin with but persevere, the brain learns and you get to enjoy it.

I can't remember Sime. Tend to forget the word quite quickly after doing it. Wordle 1,090 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Morning all. Don't know what was wrong with the weather yesterday, t-shirt all day and a couple of times my skin leaked, strange experience but I enjoyed it! Have a good day folks.

His attempt at a hardship story didn't even manage to compete with Starmer's "got the phone cut off once"! Think it plays even worse considering his D Day veterans snub, a handful of people that did know hardship.

And I'm wondering whether to go down a certain well worn road with this once more... Sod it. So the assumption is he's being Koi based on the fact he's not been Carping on about it as much, I think more likely Eel have got on his Pike in boredom of it all, or Herring-ing around a few mates for a chat about stuff instead, Shoally we'll find out soon.

Not a word that readily came to mind for me today.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Doug Tait replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Went to meet a couple of remarkable trees yesterday at Roslin Glen near Edinburgh. Two ancient Sweet Chestnuts. Took a bit of finding but once located just fantastic. Reckoned to be 400-500yrs old. Complete with Ferns, Birch and Rowan growing on them and some iron bands around historical hazard beams they looked in good spirits. Few better pics on this blog... Sweet Chestnuts of Roslin | breathofgreenair BREATHOFGREENAIR.COM Deep in the old woods of Roslin Valley there live two very ancient tree ents. In the green shaded light of the summer woods...

local wildlife (fur,feathers and beasties)

Found a lovely moth yesterday, busy laying eggs.

That's what the guide said, that particular machine never 'worked' underground, it came from a training place for display.

Morning all. Good day yesterday at the mining museum, tour given by a 3rd generation miner that worked there most of his days. A wealth of knowledge that made for an interesting afternoon. Not so sure about the hedgecutter in the car park though. Feeling lethargic today but there are chores to do. Have a good one folks.

You're welcome to join me on the step of shame Mark, bit lonely down here today tbh

I never found the Doc to be much help, all they offered was pills (SSRI's like sertraline) which wasn't for me at the time, or a CBT course which I found to be quite patronising and largely just stated the obvious. Agree with the rest though, being physically active helped slowly, and absolutely the dogs.

Morning all. Nice lie in today, have to say I was ready for it, been a busy week at work. Meeting an old workmate who's come back from NZ for breakfast later, he'd like to see the mining museum so we're off there after. Worryingly I remember the pit when it was open and at one time in my youth I worked with a guy that had previously worked there as a miner. Now it's a museum and it makes me feel bloody old! Have a good one folks.
