Sorry — computer’s not working. I think it’s not getting any electricity, and I don’t feel like crawling around on the floor to examine the connections. Alexander and his family will be here tomorrow, on their way to the rugby — Wales is going to tear us limb from limb, I fear — and one of them can do it I hope. I am picking this out with one finger on the iPad.

Knitting went well. The rows of the Dathan Hap are now seriously long. The new yarn arrived, the missing colours.

See you tomorrow, I hope
