 More dull, wet and gloomy.

Helen came this morning, and went away with a bagful of Things I don’t immediately need. She’ll bring the empty bag back tomorrow, and go to Greece on Thursday. Alexander and Ketki came in the afternoon, full of plans for getting me home. They have no confidence in me to get up the six steps from the pavement (sidewalk) to my front door. I feel sure I can surmount that hazard in a bound.

   It turns out that this problem can be met either by a commercial firm or a charity. Either one meets you at hospital or care home or wherever and takes you home and gets you in. I suspect that they expect something more like a second-floor tenement rather than six steps up from the pavement, but never mind. Neither is available until next Friday, the 29th, so departure from Cramond has been postponed until then. 

   Knitting continues well. I have reached round 23 on the Argyle vest. That’s five rounds further than yesterday. And I continue to make progress with understanding forward and backward twists. 

Wordle: easy-peasy today. Mark was the dullard, with four, Ketki and I the stars with two. Threes elsewhere.

  1. After reading your post I had a go at wordle. Remembering you said it was easy-peasy I got it in 2! So thank you for the hint!
    Cooking and cats; pleasures indeed.

    There seems to be a charity for almost everything.
    Turning chilly here at night.

    I suppose it is better to be safe - if you surprise them all, good for you! Today (Wednesday) was one of the Wordles where you have to choose the correct letter when the other 4 are in place. It took me all options, at least I didn't fail!
