An old, fat fool starts a log. Hope no-one minds

A reasonable 5

By my reckoning there are 5 possibles with 3 guesses remaining. A good tactical guess 4 covers letters for 4 out of the 5; which thankfully proves to be sufficient knocking in a safe 5

A tactical 4th attempt was employed due to multiple possibilities.

A slow and harrowing six

The fourth was a long time coming and left too many possibilities so a tactical fifth was employed, happily to good effect

A fairly straightforward four

Usual openers and minimal scribbling

This was pretty much my experience of this one

My back has been feeling a bit ginger since Sunday when nothing more difficult than a twenty mile drive caused it problems. It has eased since and was okay today but the 120 felt a deal heavier than it should have so reined it in a little.

Squatted with Turner today who for once was without his handler and was therefore selecting his own weights and reps. Suffice it to say I have never seen anything like it in my life and if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it. Weird !

Sloppy effort.

A routine 4

Same for me

Loads of options after the first effort and the second didn't help much, but the third saved the day and narrowed the field of search considerably.

Add me to that. A forgettable one but no drama.

I don’t think that details would do it justice but dagnabbit, I need to know regardless.

People in Iran are terrified of Spiders.

But in Iraq, no phobia

A third consecutive four of minimal fuss or excitement.

Usual openers, a (sort of) tactical third and that was that and it took the streak to 700.
