 Brightness continued. Our day has been devoted to making sourdough again — the actual baking to be done tomorrow morning. The trouble with sourdough is that everybody does it differently. Levain or just bung in some starter? Knead or stretch and fold (or both)? One prove or two? How to shape dough at the end? Plus the constant twin anxieties about not enough  yeast action from your home-made starter, or too much, so that it collapses at the end.

It’s good fun, but oh dear. Very little knitting as a result. No visitors.

Chloe, thank you for your advice about the EPS. I haven’t tried to use my printer for a long time, and I fear it would ignore my instructions. It’s a nuisance. There’s a lot I’d like to print — patterns, mostly. I’ve been working from my Ravelry library — no fun. There’s a problem I ought to face up to.

Wordle: I scored four all by myself (no help from Wafa) today — a pretty poor show. Two for both Alexander and his pal Mark. Three for Ketki and Rachel and Thomas. Over in DC, a comforting four from Roger, silence from Theo.

    New printers are very inexpensive, and connect wirelessly in many cases. You might put Archie on the case!

    I have seen places -e.g. Staples business center in the Eastern USA - that would let you print materials you brought in on a thumb drive/flash drive, at some expense of course. It required paying for the use of their machinery but is probably cheaper than buying a new printer.

    Rain here in MD yesterday. It looked clear today. I didn't go out.

    Or you can send the documents you want to print, to a friend or relative who has a working printer, and they can make the paper copies and pass them to you.
