“Thar she blows!” sounds like a great thing to holler, but in truth unless you’re a lumberjack or in charge of triggering the dynamite for a demolition company how often in life do you get to shout it?

Maybe that’s why people like shouting it at less than timmmmmber-worthy moments – like during a game of Jenga, or when someone drops a couple of plates in a far-off restaurant kitchen, or when your cousin blows their nose. And why is it she? Can only female denoted things blow? Are trees, chimneys and tall buildings all ladies? Did they have any say in identifying as Mrs Tree? Anyway, I digress. Apologies. Strands wasn’t about that at all – it was about WHALES and their magnificent blowholes.

ORCA was the key to unlocking today’s theme, with BALEEN coming last for me.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
