Pearl Harbor day. I remember the original one vividly. It was as bad a tactical mistake as military history can offer. Churchill went to bed a very happy man.
I’m back in the
Catalogue Room tonight with my antique laptop. It’s not really very cold. It’s
time to pay Daniela and I don’t like to do that from the iPad, although I
couldn’t say why.
Crochet66 (comment
yesterday): yes, I think there would be room in the kitchen for a cosy chair.
C. made the same suggestion, and I keep meaning to search Ikea. Meanwhile I
find our folding slatted kitchen chairs very comfortable for huddling, and very
knittable-on.
It’s still pretty
cold out there in the real world. I’ve had the heat on all day.
Some knitting; not
much. Kate Davies’ Allover Club is back – an essay from Ella Gordon at Jamieson
& Smith today. Kate is suffering badly from the loss of her dog. Helen, who
grew up with a dear cat and now lives with a very dear dog, thinks that
attachment to a dog is stronger and deeper. I’m not absolutely convinced, but I’ve
never loved a dog.
Wordle: I beat ‘em
all today, a pleasant restoration of self-esteem after yesterday’s debacle. My
starters did it all, really. I scored three. All the rest of them needed four.
We didn’t hear from Little Rachel.
Yay for a Wordle win! Keep knitting, it's not going to knit itself.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble making the tablet do some things, but my laptop - which used to do most everything - keeps failing slowly, as the people who tinker with websites keep changing them. Eventually I will be forced to get a new one, which I dread. Why do they have to keep changing things that were working well?
I used your starter word which gave me the middle three letters. I took a leap and guessed the correct work - so got it in two. My best ever. I said to myself, "Thank you, Jean."

Chairs are funny things. You never know from the sheer looks of them whether they will be really comfortable. I love my Ikea Pöang with its hassock but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Chloe
ReplyDeleteI grew up with both cats and dogs and have found the attachment equally strong, depending on the individual animal's character, of course. I still dream of my dear favorites many years after their departure.
