Nice, sunny day, and more is forecast for the week beginning tomorrow. Helen and David came, and we got out to the garden. I won’t see them again until they get back from their English holiday in 10 days’ time or so.

   I have spent a happy time otherwise, reading Fuchsia Dunlop’s new book “Invitation to a Banquet”, pre-ordered from Amazon, delivered by Helen. It’s not recipes but a history of Chinese food. I’ve got several of her recipe books and hope this book will inspire me to return to them, when I get home. Chinese cooking is well-suited to my feeble state, as much of it can be done sitting down, as one slices and chops. She writes very well.

   I have pressed on somewhat, as well, with Norwegian knitting. Iceland and the Faroes are also involved. I must go back to the good bishop’s book to see how he pulls European knitting all together. 

   And I have pressed on somewhat with actual knitting. I’m holding back a bit, for fear of running out before the new project arrives from Kate Davies.

Wordle: a three today, of which I was very proud. My hope of having the only such score was frustrated by Thomas. The others were evenly split between fours and fives. There are some things I’d like to say about today’s struggle and I fear I will have forgotten all about it by tomorrow.
