This is the scary bit – Trump angry and wounded, with the red button under his thumb for another two months.

 

I didn’t achieve much. Archie and Mungo came and we had a nice lunch. I knit some more Evandoon while listening to a podcast. A good Italian lesson. I read some more of “Maestro Don Gesualdo”.

 

Mungo has got a job with a company that makes documentaries, sometimes selling them on to the BBC. He had two other offers – it must be worth while studying Arabic. So far he’s working from home. He did some real-time translating this week for an Arabic-speaking archaeologist who had something to tell them. He is keen to get to London where he will be sharing a house with friends from university, none of whom have jobs.

 

Helen will be talking about mosaics with a friend next week (Tuesday?) on YouTube – early evening here in Britain, lunchtime in the eastern USofA. You have to sign up in advance, but it’s free. This is the link:
