France beat England yesterday, roundly. The match was
in London (I was wrong) and England had never in the history of rugby football
lost at home by so wide a margin. Ireland beat Scotland today. And since
watching England lose is a good deal more amusing than doing the same for
Scotland, I am feeling less than cheerful this evening. Here is a link (I hope)
to a Six Nations ad which was never shown on the BBC because they decided it
was “anti-English”.

I got quite a bit of plain knitting done both
yesterday and today, but now I find that something is slightly off with the row
count. Have I short-changed one of the stripes? Done four rounds where I should
have done six? I’ll do a bit of counting and calculating before I go to bed. I
don’t really like garter stitch, despite EZ’s enthusiasm for it.
My appt with the surgeon is
early tomorrow. I am anxious and apprehensive. I have re-read the letter from
the man we (=Helen and I) saw on the NHS some weeks ago. It is more balanced
than I had remembered between the options of operating and not-operating, given
my age and “co-morbidities”. I must not let myself be rushed into anything.
Paradox will be spayed on Thursday. The poor beast is at least spared some anxiety
and apprehension.
C. came and took me to Mass
this morning, always pleasant. She is just back from London where she stayed
with Rachel and Ed and had a good time and saw a lot.
Wordle: Alexander claims that the late postings of his Wordle score are because he has changed his daily
routine. Why on earth?
Three, I think, was our
majority score today, including me. My starters gave me four browns. I hate
anagrams, but the first qualifying word I thought of was right. It turned out
that my four browns were the four last letters, and that there were at least
two other possibilities for that first position. Mark (six) and Daughter Rachel
(five) both fell victim to that unfortunate configuration. Alexander, who didn’t,
needed five.
The link worked. It's a cute ad. Some people have no sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for both the appointment and the counting.
If he says age was a factor (I was worried about that) then what would he suggest for the pain? One step at a time, I suppose. …first, I guess, would be the x-rays. Fingers fervently crossed either way. Chloe
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well at the doctor today!
