And now we go again...

I too managed the wordle in 3 which for me is not the norm.  I think it is the way my mind works so I have to attack it the same way every time & frankly today was just a fluke.  I think I must be having a good/lucky day as I even got through tightrope without a fail.

Conspiracy theory time - is wordle just a trap to make us all change to American spelling as in favor not favour.

Haha BM they can try - but they will NEVER take my “u” away from me! 😆

L - going smoothly is a nice description - and yes, it does feel as though it is for the most part. That’s got to be good, hasn’t it!

I've been doing regular Yoga with Adrienne too (still free on utoob, RT!). Just five mins or so before bed, so more of a relaxation thing. If you scroll down her front page there's a collected list of videos that are under 10 mins - I just use one of those. I do keep thinking I'd like to do longer ones, but I'm also trying to add lots of other things into my day too, so I'm sticking with under 10 mins mostly for now. I've been doing it every day since about October, I think 😊

Well done on getting your bike out! Mine didn't make it out of the shed at all last year 😮

Well done on getting the bike out!  Enjoy your relaxing day

My lovely bike has not been out of the shed for so long that it's probably grown mushrooms!

Take care, EH. Last time I went out on my lovely purple bike, I was knocked off by a hit & run driver. Ended up in hospital with 5 broken ribs, some cracked ribs & a punctured lung. My bike came off worse than me & ended it's days in the skip!

Really sad to see the news breaking today about Tony Slattery's death. I knew him quite well back in the early to mid 90's - we lost touch at the point where he really went off the rails with (as I now know) drink and substance addiction leading him to a dark place mentally - I believe he very consciously stepped away from pretty much all of the group I knew him through at that stage. I still think the way he was treated by the media back when he was on mainstream TV a lot had a lot to do with his mental health struggles too - I recall him saying at the time that it frequently felt like he couldn't win whatever he did they would find holes to pick. Even in that last couple of years I knew him though, when there were extensive media reports about his "violently angry outbursts" I never saw any of that - he was always unfailingly polite, sweet and kind to me. A lovely man.

So sorry to hear that. You have some wonderful memories of him, love the Bday story. I was a fan from afar.

I have had friends really alter due to excess/addiction but as you say being in the public eye and all the criticism makes things and their MH much worse. I am still sad about The Vivienne after all the online abuse she had,  she was so talented and funny as well

Oh jeez kayannie that’s not good at all - I hope you are now fully recovered? It does underline why I generally prefer to avoid mixing with traffic - one of the reasons I stopped using the foldy bike to commute from the car to the office was that more and more I was realising that it was only a matter of time before I got wiped out by a driver. Thankfully round here it’s possible to do most of my cycling on traffic free paths or fairly quiet roads - that is less true in the summer months when I’m more likely to go out round the lanes.

Yes, fully recovered now thank goodness. I was cycling in our small town in a narrow road only wide enough for one car & with a sharp blind bend coming up. The idiot behind me, towing a trailer, decided it was a good place to overtake me, until a car came around the bend & he had a choice of hitting the approaching car or me. Luckily I fell towards the pavement & not into the road, otherwise it would have been a different story!

Yikes Kayannie! Glad you are recovered now

I was just thinking how I should also get my bike out. I used to cycle everywhere but haven't for a while.
