Day one of new streak after yesterday’s disaster. Had a streak of 31! Which is longest I’ve had.

PBD. Should have figured it out though. And blue was a guess.

Purple sort of by default as I considered that connection but discounted it as it only made sense to me with two of the answers, and I still don’t know what the other two refer to.

Exactly the same here with respect to the purples, @Shinyhappyapple !

Started around 6.30am and got yellow, had a wobble and got green around 8am, just realised I hadn’t finished and got blue straight away. Some times I think I just rush 😂
