Happy Sunday! I've got to admit I struck lucky as there were many possibilities with the run of letters I had and I hit the bullseye first shot. I'm sure there's a better verse out there - maybe the tail end of my cold is stunting my imagination. It's a bit daft!

Sharing your score - a mighty fine 4️⃣😊

Happy Saturday! I found this one really laborious and having a bad cold didn't help! Still, through all the creakiness I've got it done.

Astounding 2️⃣ - in awe of you 🤩👍👏🙏!

I found it tough,
I'm feeling rough,
I've got a bad cold,
I've said enough!

John Finagin @johnfinagin.bsky.social · 2d

A neatly solved 4️⃣ - not at all a bad score 😊

Happy Friday. The mechanics of solving today's wordle, then writing a rhyme were in full working order.

Happy Thursday! Not too tricky, in both senses of the word. Many synonyms - enough to make a "what am I?" rhyme. So all in all not too shabby a day!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
