Happy Wednesday and celebrating another 2️⃣. Lucky streak, I think 🍀. Posting late because Bluesky wasn't accessible for a few hours. Still, better late than never😀
Happy Tuesday. A letter in place always narrows the options and I ended up with a choice out of three. Two had gone before. Worked ☺️
Happy Monday. Today's verse isn't strictly true - the answer was the product of luck with the letters and being methodical in working it out. I think wordle is making a dishonest poet out of me!

Happy Sunday. There were three possible words. I went for the most commonly used. Rational choices can be lucky at the same time.🍀
Happy Saturday. Hard to find the letters, and when I did I fell the wrong side of a 50:50. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you're happy with a save in time. That's wordle!
Happy Friday. Turned out to be a 50:50 line 2 and I was lucky 🍀
Happy Thursday. Figuring out the word was the easy bit, once I'd got over the hard bit, which involved finding enough letters.
A Reform UK councillor shares a post saying a Labour MP “should be shot”? Nigel Farage won’t apologise. Zack Polanski shares an Instagram photo? Zia Yusuf demands police action within 24 hours!! 😡
Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.
