All well. Another
stripe nearly finished on the yoke of my EPS sweater.
I didn’t get out for
a walk this morning, because of waiting in for a delivery. That happens too
often, and is a serious drawback to internet shopping. But at least the delivery
came. A beautiful, expensive shirt to wear to wee Hamish’s christening on
Saturday. And subsequently on our cruise, if it sails. The number of Covid
cases continues to rise, in Scotland as in England.
Beth, thank you
for the link to Patty Lyons on German short rows. I hoped one of you would come
up with something like that. Now I’m all set.
Signing-up for
Kate Davies’ new club-which-turns-into-a-book starts tomorrow. It doesn’t seem
to have anything to do with feminism in Glasgow, which is a relief.
And Peggy (comment,
Sunday), of course you’re right – the hero of “Lethal White” is Cormoran, not
Cameron. (I found a place in the text where a revolver changes into a rifle on
the same page. I hope that was just in the Kindle edition.) I’ve finished
reading it. Towards the end, it struck a few sparks from my dim memory. I have
certainly read it before. It is a long and rather complicated book. I look
forward to the new one (any moment now) and will also return to the television
adaptation with greater understanding.
Jean, I'm kind of a clothes person so now I am curious about your new shirt. Hope it shows up in a christening or cruise picture one day:). Keeping fingers crossed about that cruise, too. Chloe
ReplyDeleteCopyediting seems to be a lost art. It must be intensely frustrating to the authors when the publishers ruin a carefully written sentence.
ReplyDeleteI read (and enjoyed) a series of mysteries by Stuart Kaminsky in which one of the characters changed height from book to book, among other small changes. I finally created a spreadsheet with the major changes charted for each book -- so many discrepancies! I'd love to be a copy editor . . . .
