Oh no! Now I have even more to try. The time I got 3 in Wordle was definitely dumb luck. When you have all 5 in your first 2 tries with 2 in the right place there are only so many places an H & E can go.

I need to have a proper catch-up with your diary, but it sounds as though your veg plot is producing well. I love the fact that we can shop sp much fresh stuff from our own back gardens this time of year.

I scuppered myself and got it on four. Hadn't set it to 'hard setting' so they let me put in a letter where I knew it shouldn't be which baffled my wee brain!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

I've just read your post from a few days ago, when you 'rescued' some ceramic tiles. We brought a box of quarry tiles with us when we moved to our new house a few years ago - they were unused & too good to throw away & they might come in useful 'one day'!
My DH is out in the garden at this moment, putting them to good use! He's levelled a patch of uneven ground & is laying the tiles to make an area where we can either sit out or stand some pots. Not quite finished, but it's looking good!
