Well done Ann.
It was a phew day for me too.
Getting the 4th [obscure] connection can be costly.

Either wordle is getting harder or starter word is not most efficient.

Still the winning run continues. I am not sure how many 5 letter words are still to come or if they repeat some of them?
I nearly lucked out on both Wordle & connections today. It was a big phew for both of them but success is success & I’ll yake it

Ok on the Wordle.
Wordle 1,388 4/6*
I think the Wordle is doable as there are unlimited guesses when for example you are not sure, you can type a word and if it is invalid, you don’t lose a turn like you do on connections. That said, it is not often when I need to guess at words - usually I know the word, it’s just a question of if it is the word of the day. Wow, I just noticed there are four consecutive two letter words in my last sentence. Not sure if I have seen that before. “of if it is”
I fell into the trap with thinking James Bond actors was a connection. Whoops. Once I realised it wasn’t I didn’t do too bad. N

Ditto.
Like you had a flyer with the orange group, stumbled through the witches brew MacBeth connection and then blew it trying to connect the punches.
So annoyed when I saw the answers as the Fox connections are so “obvious”

Hope you are resting well after last weeks incident.
Look after yourself - drink lots of fluids
I managed the fox connections but didn’t get the Macbeth ones. It was the punch ones I thought I had but alas not today.
Am feeling better each day thank you. I’m resting lots which is easier with being off work & with the sun shining i’ve been enjoying the garden.
Hope all well with you.
Yes, it’s nice to have the sun out.
I can take Mum out on the decking to get some rays of sun on her face. It seems to cheer her up.
Hopefully, soon I will be able to take her for a spin round the block. We did it last year and she really enjoyed it.
Take care.
Time for a late afternoon cuppa 
I had a couple hiccups but got the connections in the end.

I am much more comfortable with Wordle - I feel this month’s starter word is making it more challenging. Clearly, the starter word makes a [big] difference.
Mum was OK, but I think it tired her out so we will have to ease her in.
Today I will give her time on the Revite Medic.
I managed wordle and connections ok today. My starter word is making it difficult to find follow up words but I am getting there & it is giving my brain a workout.
I got the 1st connection quickly & then once I had got the stars connection it got much easier.

How is your mum finding the revitive medic. It is something my hubby keeps saying I should try but I’m not sure.
Hi Ann - well done. You’re definitely on a roll.
I had to sleep on connections as it was a blank when I first looked at it. I solved the Wordle and then just now I solved the Connections after a small hiccup.

Wordle 1,392 6/6*
I am dreading the day when I fail to solve the Wordle as I now feel it is totally solvable every time
The rules of the English language i.e. vowels and positions of consonants in relation and also the fact there are only five letters in the word make it pretty much an optimal puzzle.
Mum has been using Revitive Medic for some time now and we feel it definitely helps her especially as she is not weight bearing on her feet/legs.
We have the knee version (top of the range) but haven’t used the knee pads yet.
I think it is worth the investment - it’s a good [quality] product and it is simple to use. I bought it after seeing it on TV when it was advertised by (Sir) Ian Botham and I felt he is the sort of person who would not lend his name to a product that was not worthy. I was right
Before the revitive, one of Mum’s physios had recommended we buy another EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) device and we tried it with limited success. That was a TENS+ device.
Does that help?
Also, if you are interested, I bought an earthing strap as championed by Roland and that also worked for Mum. I am happy with both these aids and wish I had come across them earlier in Mum’s journey post stroke.
Well done on wordle and connections.
I’ll look into the revitive a bit more & see if it does what I need it to begore I commit as like you say it isn’t cheap.
Enjoy the sunshine whilst it is here. I’ve been sat in garden today with a book and my feet up. 
The Americanisms got me - know diddly squid about NBA or indeed any of their sports.

Wordle was a little harder despite having got the 1st two letters straight away. It was process of elimination based on the letters left but should have got it easier really given what the word is.

Keep going - you’re doing well.
I got back on track with the connections - I feel I’m OK or have a chance except when it is Americanised. Wordle OK again and I am now really getting fearful of the day when my run is broken.
