When I log on here from my iPad, there are my coloured squares recording yesterday's struggle with Wordle. Here on the (admittedly rather antique) laptop, we have only empty squares. One day I must try doing Wordle in here, but I prefer to go on with it as now, hunched over my breakfast with the iPad. I got it on the 6^th try, this morning.

 Elizabeth (comment yesterday) I cannot imagine a strategy which would make it boring: it’s such a brilliant blend of luck and vocabulary. I used "lipid" as one of my buesses yesterday -- I don't even know what it means. It has occurred to me that “train” should be a pretty good starter – two vowels, and all the consonants are in the first half of the letter-frequency alphabet.

 

It looked like quite a nice day out there, but I stayed in. I had a restless and uncomfortable night last night, and was feeling weaker even than usual. Knitting progressed well, but there are still two or three more increases to do.

 

Amazon has just delivered “Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat” along with my month’s ration of Weston’s Vintage Cider. (My new system, mentioned recently, is not to keep cider in the house except for the monthly Amazon delivery of what amounts to about a week’s supply – and of course it will last longer, if I drink less per day.) Both had been promised for tomorrow. So soon I will go off and read the one while sipping the other with my supper. I’ll report on the book tomorrow, insh’Allah.
