I'm glad you see it that way.

That's a very good analogy. Fellow Wordlers would be very unhappy - I've seen it happen.

FELLOW WORDLERS. For some weird reason BlueSky will not let me post today's Wordle. I click post and nothing happens. Any clues as to why?

No but there are many people who do Wordle and don't wish to see the answer.

My third line was milky and as line 2 gave me a D, I knew the answer must be dimly. (I can tell you this as its just past midnight and a new Wordle to answer has dropped. )

Iris, I'd just like to say how nice it is to chat with you occasionally. Clearly we are at least a generation apart and I usually avoid young attractive women as they are often vacuous and looking for money. You are different as you are smart, politically aware and genuinely interested in people.

My best run was almost 500 games but when I changed phones, my score went back to zero. I tried to sort it but in the end, it didn't seem that important. My current streak is 27. I do it for the brain exercise along with Quordle, sometimes. Likewise Trivix and occasionally Llamagram. How about you?

Sorry Iris, I only just saw this... To answer, for sure they do, we learn something from those we lose along the way, though we may not realise it at the time. (In fact, we may not realise we've lost them at first.)

Pretty much what I describe in the poem, in the quiet of the country. I guess, in part, because that was where I grew up.
