Helen is safely home from Kirkmichael, where there was epic rain. She’ll come tomorrow and tell us about it. We’ve had a grey day here, with lots of rain, but not quite epic.
Knitting has been advanced but slightly. I’m currently toiling around a round that involves six twists (12 stitches) for every 18 stitches of the pattern repeat, and it’s slow work.
Mary Lou, when you grumble about the iPad correcting your spelling, do you mean the way it leaps in to make preposterous suggestions, overriding one’s blameless prose? I have always thought that I could override that feature if I understood the iPad better. We have ordered a stand for it, and are ready to think of going on to a keyboard — but will I have to contend with this nuisance forever? You should see what it tried to suggest for “keyboard”.
Wordle: the results make it seem like a relatively easy one, but I found it a stinker. My starters gave me three brown vowels. Three! I gave up and entered a Jean-word for line three — those three vowels, in new positions, but I re-used a consonant. That produced nothing major — no new letters, no greens — but from it I was able to guess the answer. So, four for me.
Thomas, Alexander, Rachel, and Roger were fellow fours. Five for Mark and Ketki. Theo posted a brilliant three in what must have been for him the middle of the night.
To end auto-correction, go to: Settings, then to General, then to Keyboard, then to Auto-Correction and switch it to off. Cam

ReplyDeleteThe above error was of my own making! And yes, what Cam said. A friend recently sent me something which says ""It helps if you inagine autocorrect as a tiny elf in your phone (ipad) who is trying hard to be helpful but is, in fact, quite drunk."
ReplyDeleteFunny! Loretta
DeleteThank you! I was just wondering how to do that!
ReplyDeleteRainy lately, but mostly at night.
