The potato event was cancelled after all. I felt well, and walked to lunch instead of being pushed. For a while after the meal I sat in the library with what I felt sure were congenial souls — but some couldn’t hear very well, and others were short of marbles, and conversation didn’t get very far. When I was here last year (see late May ‘22) everybody who needed them had expensive hearing aids.
Knitting went well. I’ve done 5 of the 21 scallops on the third side of the shawl.
C. and her friend Ian came to see me. He is moving into a new house and it’s hard work.
Wordle: It’s a true stinker today. Rachel failed, and I needed six. Fives for Theo, Thomas, and Ketki. Four for Alexander and Mark No news from Roger yet — he often does it late in the American day.

Wordle was, indeed, a real stinker today! I got it in five, but really by the skin of my teeth.
ReplyDeleteI too got wordle in 5. It was the first wordle I succeeded in for days. Congratulations on your improving health and stamina. We are all willing you onwards and upwards!
ReplyDeleteShort of marbles…I will have to remember that (so funny). So glad to see that you are on the upswing, Jean! Marbles intact!
ReplyDeleteThat was Chloe.
ReplyDeleteThey have a library! Too bad about the lack of good hearing aids. Though even the good ones need new batteries almost every day. Progress on the knitting is good news too.
ReplyDeleteWeather here seems to have been nice enough. I didn't go out.
New-fangled USB-rechargeable over-ear hearing aids mean no more batteries. Charge overnight. Worth investigating if needed. Can do nifty things with smartphones too.
ReplyDeleteAnyway glad to hear of more walking and more energy!
