I came across this site earlier: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ solved it on the third line, more by luck than judgement...

That is all.

It took me all 6. Reading the instructions helped. Remembering them was even more helpful.

Log bins filled, decorations are up on the loft, cleared out the grate and got the fire going again and have done some more writing.

My blue wheelie bin still hasn't been emptied.

Belated return home as my normal ferry time was cancelled allegedly due to bad weather somewhere.
A bit of rock and roll during the crossing but nothing in comparison to some trips we made in the past. We did have a slightly different route over as the usual route could have been a bit rough due to wind against tide causing bigger waves.
The 21 mile road trip got "interesting " in parts as the last 10 miles had a thick layer of sleet lying but not gritted.
The Tiree ferry did not sail and a lot of prospective passengers baled out probably to look for overnight accommodation.
What do you do with a hearse carrying a coffin I wonder as they also baled? A large artic based on Tiree and driven by a diminutive woman also made off somewhere else after a bit of shunting other traffic around by the pier staff to allow enough room to turn.
Unpacking is the worst bit as unlike mainlanders I have a lot of food to sort out and stack away. In fact the food takes up more room than my clothing.
The only time I use ready meals is on return home as I cannot be bothered to cook by the time I get mostly sorted tho' clothing and washing machine will have to wait till tomorrow.

I too have spent the day putting Crimble back in it's boxes for next year, not put it in the attic yet as there are some lights that go outside and they're a bit soggy so need to dry out if I want them to work next year.

Good time of year to be selling people them, a size bigger than they'd normally wear though.

I have fed the cats, the soup is on to warm and I have cut some potatoes up for chips.

I went out and caught our fish supper . As I drove to the chip shop it absolutely hammered down ! I could hardly see the road at one point as the rain was so heavy . I caught the chips and we both enjoyed them .

Umm, no.

High vis & reflective cycling gear for me. I might have mentioned reflective spoke sleeves on another thread, you see...
