A pleasant day.
David and Helen called in, and David and I found the missing picture (mentioned
here recently, I think). It is one of the three I will take along if I ever go
permanently into care. So that is a great relief. The search led me to Mary Lutyens’
“Millais and the Ruskins” in which our picture appears as an illustration. I
have finished PD James’ “Original Sin” (vg) and was rather floundering in the
search for another book, so I think I will read that one.
We tried to walk
but again failed, as on the previous two attempts. It is frustrating, as I feel
so well otherwise.
Then Mungo cooked
lunch for me, and Archie stayed and ate it with us (and washed up afterwards). Very
pleasant (and very tasty) and a welcome relief from thinking.
Knitting went
well. I have only two more sleeve increases to do (second sleeve of Lilias Day).
Paradox carried the work off and tried to help, which slowed me down a bit.
I have always enjoyed reading any of PD James' books.
ReplyDeleteI'm halfway through Original Sin. I can't yet read and knit at the same time. I'm following EZ's advice and knitting small hats in this hot weather, using up some acrylic DK I have lying around. They will go into the 'shoeboxes for Romania ' collection at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteI could probably reread all of PD James, as I read them ages ago. Was Original Sin the one where the victim was killed with a knitting needle? (Not a spoiler!)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a relief to find something when you knew it had to be there somewhere!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfectly lovely day.
