Knackered. Once a Dad.
Lass-eee, the Yorkshire greater tufted Wordle 1,686 5/6* duck, floated serenely along t’river. Life were grand t’day, for no woofs barked from bank nor jumped in t’chase. What though was this strange creature, singing to Lass, from mid river. Ahh, the WW.

Flowers thrived along the walled garden border, the eighteenth century red bricks both a delight and a sun trap. Mary, golden, sighed over her collection of Wordle 1,685 5/6* marygolds (as she delighted in so calling them)

The thieves had but one goal. Fresh from their Louvre heist, the two nightjays sought but one item - marigolds. Their Wordle 1,684 4/6* translator brought with it a huge surprise: large yellow rubber gloves, from the supermarket shelves, had not been their aim. Alarms rang

The aestel was hard at work. Three pages of vellum read, line by line, from within the Wordle 1,682 6/6* book of hours, the upper pages though a complex mass of golden illustrations

Ps apparently otter tracks are close by the garden (lots of goldfish ponds); beck is 3/4 mile away below limestone plateau. No wonder cats eyes open wide.

It seemed an appropriate morning to start with a ‘z’ and ‘y’ in line 1. ‘x’ of course had to mark the spot.

Too tired to think of a response. WW near falls off fell crag. Utter exhaustion, 6 hours up ridge, 2 hours down next valley, far into dark. Getting Wordle 1,670 3/6* older week by day. Exhaustion.

Sitting in a golden armchair, atop a Wordle 1,669 6/6* felltop, exhausted after 2 x 8-9 mile long wet Jan days, walking through the lakes, between YHA, there comes a time, mind gone, when one does just wonder if the Wordle Gang are utterly bonkers. I’m …
