Still hot,
although I still think Edinburgh is doing better than elsewhere. We had some
clouds until lunchtime today. Helen came, and got me around the garden – you’re
absolutely right, Mary Lou, that she is not one to be trifled with. Even with
that, and with tottering here and there to put away a supermarket delivery, I
haven’t quite hit 2000 steps.
No knitting. The
cats, even, aren’t pestering me for food with their usual enthusiasm.
It's too hot for knitting when the yarn sticks to my sweaty fingers! Your walking around continues to amaze... I go round our garden but it is pocket handkerchief sized.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Helen, and for you. It's still pretty hot here in MD, and now we're getting a kind of haziness that I think may be thin smoke blowing eastward from the wildfires. The sky looks more pale grey than blue, but amid it there are visible 'normal' cloud shapes.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember our discussion of Madeleine Vesey and Trollope's use of snake imagery for her? I am just starting "Daniel Deronda" and what doe we have? Gwendolen Harleth being described as Serpent-like several times in the first set description of her. I wonder how common this trope was in Victorian fiction.
