Helen and David and their son Mungo were here briefly this morning, on their way souff to visit David’s mother. She has either just moved in to a retirement community or is just about to. I haven’t done or attempted much today.

So I still can’t tell you whether I solved yesterday’s knitting conundrum. 

I did have a Zoom meeting with my sister in DC. That was very pleasant. She seems to be (she’s a doctor) on the side of my struggling on like this with better wheelchairs, rather than pressing for a hip replacement.

Wordle: a second consecutive failure for me. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. I was careless yesterday, two Jean-words I think. Much more careful today, to no avail. 

   Rachel got five today, Ketki struggled home with six. Both of them shared my difficulty — they had everything except the second letter. In DC Theo was another six — that blasted second letter again — and Roger hasn’t appeared yet. He looked fine on Zoom this morning. 

   Alexander and his friend Mark were today’s fours. Thomas eclipsed us all with a three.
