I think I will huddle here in the kitchen again. It’s turned rather seriously cold out there. And, yes, the rest of the house is not much colder, Tamar. Nothing to worry about. Thank you for your concern. I feel cosier here, is all.
I got some knitting done — more than on other recent days. The back-and-forth part of the back is a (small) measurable distance above the armhole division.
Thank you for your encouraging words about silk and wool, too, Tamar. Both take dye so well, too — the colours aren’t likely to disappoint. Unlike cashmere. This should be an incentive to press ahead briskly with Fergus’ sweater.
Amazon has delivered two of the Xmas presents I ordered yesterday. Mr Bezos, wisely, is not placing any faith in the Royal Mail. It is collapsing, just like the NHS and the rail network. Scary times.
Wordle: I failed. Six for Mark and Ketki, five for Theo. The others don’t seem to have had much difficulty: four for Thomas and Big Rachel, three for Alexander.
Yes, Tamar, the iPad is equally officious about changing my spellings — including rendering your name twice this evening as “Tamra”.
Jean, I think you and yours will enjoy this post about Cambridge’s Word of the Year: https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/cambridge-dictionary-names-homer-word-of-the-year-2022?utm_campaign=alumni&utm_medium=email&utm_source=1134228_M17825%20%2F%20M17826%20%2F%20M17830%20December%202022%20alumni%20e-newsletter&dm_i=6DCH,OB6C,1XTUC1,30F89,1

Ugh, sorry about that link; perhaps this one will work better:

I too, have been pecking out blog posts on a tablet because of a mixture of laziness and comfort. But I shall revert to a real keyboard as this is a most irritating way of doing things!
ReplyDeleteWordle in 5. 4 or 5 seems to be my normal result.
Thanks for the “homer” link, Other Kirsten! Interesting that Wordle led to it.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate huddling in the warmest room. Is there room in your kitchen for an armchair, perhaps with a little rearranging? Add a blanket for your knees and you'd be comfy and cosy.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how a few degrees can make such a difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the word link.
By the way, in most cases, anything after the question mark in a link can be removed and it will still work. The excess is tracking information. I've only seen a few that required the whole mess.
