A good day. People have complained of its being hot, even. From inside, overcast, but brighter now. Agitation continues here with the carer handover, which will be complete tomorrow. And Helen will be home tomorrow.

    Thank you for y our comments yesterday about ramen. It’s a richLy complete dish, Tamar.  Kirsten’s recipe gives some idea. I’m more likely to get beri beri just bumbling along as I am, living on cider, sinking into the grave.

    C. came this morning. No news. She is going off to a wedding somewhere this weekend so I will not see her for a week. She will be the “and friend” on the invitation and will not know many people. 

   I chickened out with the new lamp — therefore no knitting. Helen will take things in hand tomorrow.

   Wordle: oh, dear. It’s a toughie, or so I found it. Three browns from my starters. Two Jean-words for lines three and four turned one of the browns green; otherwise no progress.  So I consulted C by email — I knew she had polished it off in three - and she gave me a clue.

   Maybe I would have got it? We’ll never know. But I feel terrible.

   The others posted later than usual but otherwise showed no signs of distress. Three for Thomas, Alexander and Mark. Four for Rachel, Ketki and Theo.
