The only thing I've found with the colour of the month:

Are more Wordles. It's not the exact same green, but close enough. Today I'm not doing A-Z, my Wordle does not count for my stats, I was free to fool around. I did and that may be why I did not solve it today.  It should not be that hard, only 4.8 of 6.

A-Z Challenge ~ V for Visas

This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day. I plan to post the A-Z post around noon every day of April.

As the alternative badges, as supplied by Lissa suggest travel I'll prefer travel-related words as starter words, and if at all possible, I'll avoid words containing the same letter more than once.

I'll maybe add a few words about my chosen starter word if fancy takes me and I have time and energy for it, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.

Today my starting word is Visas.
The average today is 5.3 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. I am a bit above average here - but I feel a bit cheated. While looking for "how many Wordle solutions" out of curiosity and cited in O for Ocean, I read that Wordle does NOT use plural forms! I see now, searching further, that this was a half truth. Wordle does indeed use plurals, but only irregular ones.

Visas - To travel like we did through the countries behind the Iron Curtain, we needed lots of visas.

We spent at least a week waiting at embassies, consulates and whatnots and speak to often stuffy bureaucrats, only reluctantly giving us the required stampings in our passports. Some of them were beautiful, in multicoloured ink or flourishing fonts often in other alphabets. Later on we also acquired some in Arabic one of these even came with a stamp. I think it was the Egypt one. 
No drama here, only quite a bit of train trips to Copenhagen, where all the embassies were - and a lot of time wasted waiting.

And now for today's Wordle:

A-Z Challenge ~ U for Urban

Today my starting word is Urban.
The average today is 4.3 guesses out of 6, or moderately challenging. I am below average again today.

Urban - U was an unexpectedly hard starting letter. I really could find no travel related words. Also today I have no story to tell. 

And now for today's Wordle:

Trunk was one of the words I considered for T, so of course it was still upmost in my brain. Lucky dip this was.

Service Announcement ~ Train Accident

If any of you have read about a train accident in Northern Zealand and wonder whether it touches me, the answer is that it does.

Fortunately neither me, nor any of my family members were in these exact trains.

One of the Owlets should have taken the next one, and had to take a replacement bus.

Because yes, this is our train, the one we travel with several time a week.


I feel sorry for the wounded train drivers, passengers and their family.

A-Z Challenge ~ T for Towel

This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day. I plan to post the A-Z post around noon every day of April.

Today my starting word is Towel.
The average today is 3,8 or moderately easy - I am below average today.

Towel - The connection between towel and travel is of course Always remember your towel. One of the best advices from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

A Towel is about the most useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth ... you can lie on it ... you can sleep under it ... and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost."
