Ah, I see! I love the title track, but don't know the album or Guava Jelly, so won't beat up on myself for not understanding the reference.

You were going to explain the link between guava and your namesake...

My grid looks very different, but we both ended up with 4. The rich diversity of Wordle...๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I did identify yellow, though there was a word in there I have never heard used in that context. An American idiom, I guess.

The Great Olympic lie: untold story of Winter Gamesโ€™ huge environmental impact Rivers drained dry to create artificial snow, a forest cut down for the bobsleigh track โ€“ IOCโ€™s claims to prioritise sustainability at Milano Cortina exposed

Ive really enjoyed the Winter Olympics, but this on the event's environmental impact and the false claims of sustainability is hugely depressing.

How's he doing?

Yes, must be true. Though if he only got 4, presumably his lifestyle's not quite as healthy as yours!

It's like scoring a blinding goal and then finding that the flag has gone up. Incorrectly.

It's a lovely film (though don't watch Babe 2: Pig in the City, which has a cameo by Donald Trump of all people ๐Ÿคฎ)

I do apologise for any misunderstanding. It's become a catchphrase in my family, so I didn't really think about the possibility for misinterpretation.

Oh dear - no, in fact probably both characters are me. "That'll do" refers to my score, not to your comment. (I assume you've seen Babe?)
