Well played then, they must be quite rare

A satisfying four and an excellent word to boot.

Thank you. I've had a few yellow-less sixes. I did have one tactical attempt along the way, which yielded a solitary green.

A five which took a bit of pondering to find a suitable third word in order to narrow down the mass of possibilities.

As depth nazi Jim is still away sunning himself, I took it upon myself to work on depth by allowing myself to really sink into the bottom position which effectively made these ever-so-slightly paused. Enjoyable

Took a long time to come up with the fourth but it did a lot of the heavy lifting

Quite a slow, but ultimately enjoyable, 4.

It just so happens that I walk across the market square at around 11 o'clock most mornings. This morning I was there by design.

There were probably fifty or sixty people in rough lines all facing to the front. Just in front of them were four standard bearers with standards raised. Facing them was a stern, beret-wearing woman with a stick under one arm. To her left a beret-wearing gentleman with what I assumed to be a bugle but may have been a small trumpet. (Cornet maybe?)

I removed my hat and took my hands from my pockets.

The stern-looking woman barked a few orders and the standards were lowered. She then recited the fourth stanza of Binyon's famous poem. Then she turned. The musician then played probably the most emotional and well known piece of music in Britain "The Last Post"

Two minutes passed.

The stern-looking woman turned and recited the "They gave their tomorrows for our todays" piece.

The musician played the more uplifting but no less poignant "Reville"

The standards were raised and we were commanded to "Fall Out" It was an emotional experience but a very rewarding one. Plus it was done at the correct time on the correct day, and that gentle reader, is how it should be.

A very grey game, culminating in a 4.
