Lapsed writer. Through a series of unfortunate events I have been handed the gift of time.

Early stroll. The moon, outshining the stars. A treeβs shadow on the cemetery fence. Two orange balls on a lawn. A cyclist almost rides into me, shouts βSorry pal!β A sign says THIS ROAD WILL BE CLOSED; it doesnβt say when.
It might be a Sea of Greens but I went around the houses to get there. Five Club. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,932 5/6 β¬β¬β¬β¬π© π©β¬β¬β¬β¬ π©π©β¬β¬π© π©π©β¬β¬π© π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. The evolving moon. ROAD CLOSED sign as metal metaphor. A jacket hung on a fence. A man stands beside a white van, arms folded. That cat, splashed by streetlight.
A fairly tricky word which was made much easier by my two starter words eliminating all other contenders. Three Club. Good luck everyone.ππ€ Wordle 1,931 3/6 π¨β¬β¬π¨β¬ β¬β¬π©β¬π© π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. Those grey bins might have been brown bins when they were younger. A single drop of water falls on to my head. Puddles as popup art. A TV as big as an arthouse cinemaβs third screen. The moon wears a loose cloud-blouse.
My two regular starter words did all the heavy lifting. They even pointed to where the two yellow tiles had to go. Three Club. Good luck everyone. π Wordle 1,930 3/6 π©β¬π¨β¬β¬ β¬β¬β¬π¨π© π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. The watchful moon. Leathery fallen leaves. Iβm ten minutes late so the road is busier. Time never hesitates, but sometimes it seems to. A silent man silently walks a silent dog.
I ended up making this much more difficult than I needed it to be. Five Club. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,929 5/6 π©β¬π¨β¬π¨ β¬β¬β¬β¬β¬ π©π©β¬π©β¬ π©π©π©π©β¬ π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. Leaves waiting to fall, to briefly fly. My shoesοΏΌ are private transport. A trail of abandoned crisps. The horse gazes at Vicβs garage. The sky fills the space allotted to it.
Four Club, AND I've doubled my win streak. π Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,928 4/6 β¬π¨β¬π¨β¬ β¬β¬π©β¬β¬ π©β¬π©β¬π© π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. The ruminating sky. A man in a doorway waves a cigarette in greeting. A mysterious rumbling that seems to come from the depths of a field. The faded yellow of the old grit bin. A childβs shoe outside the dark chapel.
Three Club. Tainted by the fact I forgot to play yesterday and lost my winning streak. I blame Lancashire.π€£ I drove there, and back, yesterday and it slipped my mind on my return. Off out now. I'll catch your commiserations later on. π«€ Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,927 3/6 π¨β¬β¬β¬β¬ β¬β¬π©π¨β¬ π©π©π©π©π©

Someone's spray painted N A G B on the side of my house. Thatβs bang out of order.
A nice entry into Three Club to bring up the 100th winning game in a row. Still a way to go to beat my record of 180 days but I'm going in the right direction. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,924 3/6 β¬β¬β¬π©π© π¨π©β¬β¬β¬ π©π©π©π©π©
Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

It looks slightly more impressive than it actually is. My two starter words left just two available words to choose from and I got fortunate. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,923 3/6 β¬β¬β¬π©π¨ β¬β¬β¬β¬π© π©π©π©π©π©
Early stroll. The crunch of my apple is the strollβs starting pistol. A lit upstairs window floats. I walk through a low web. That place where shadows of shadows gather. The chip shop is still for sale, empty.
Dropped down to Five Club. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,922 5/6 π¨β¬β¬β¬β¬ β¬π©β¬π©β¬ β¬π©π©π©π© β¬π©π©π©π© π©π©π©π©π©
THE FAILED CARTOGRAPHER (Palindrome) Demand a hill, at solid nadirβ¦. Damn it! One morn, I saw I was in Rome, not in Madrid, and I lost all I had named....
Early stroll. Trees: theme and variations. The ancient light of that star. A roadsignβs linear shadow. The leaning and waiting lad is waiting and leaning. This pavement isnβt just uneven, itβs unodd.
A hint of luck but I'm more than happy to accept it. Three Club. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,921 3/6 β¬β¬β¬π¨π© β¬π¨β¬π¨β¬ π©π©π©π©π©

A mellow and magical start to the week here in Glastonbury. Taken shortly before sunrise today.
Early stroll. A rushing hedgehog. A huddle of plantpots by a front door. Someone stands in their garden staring at the sky. A pile of clear plastic forks. A woman stands under a streetlight to check her watch.
Very close to Three Club but not quite close enough. Good luck everyone. ππ€ Wordle 1,920 4/6 π¨π©β¬β¬π¨ π©β¬β¬β¬β¬ π©π©β¬π©π© π©π©π©π©π©
