 The weather has broken. Now grey and wet and unpleasant, with storm forecast for tonight.

  Sharon and I have been making kimchi, always hard work. And in this case I fear it won’t succeed, because we have the wrong cabbage. But any cabbage should ferment — look at sauerkraut. And it looks beautiful. So we’ll see.

   Helen is having a nice time in Cairo. And, from my point of view, two days gone of the ten. 

   C. was here this morning. No real news.

   And I did some knitting. I am too exhausted by kimchi-making to hope for more this evening. 

  I am trying to learn to master the electric wheelchair, with only moderate results. It will turn on a dime, and I can do that. Going straight forward is the problem. Helen found it fully as difficult as I do. Alexander did rather better. 

   Wordle: another relatively easy one. Theo and Mark were today’s stars, with two; Rachel and I scored three . That leaves three others here in Britain, all fours, and poor Roger, in DC, who needed five.

    Kimchi and knitting in the same day - Well done! I am just hanging out, waiting for the predicted thaw before doing anything this week. The sun today melted a little of the snow but it will continue to be icy until Wednesday, at which time I may venture out.

    It is still bitter cold in New York at the moment, but that will change soon, according to the Weatherman: rain and unseasonably warm. All the dirty dregs of snow will be gone.
    Glad to hear that you made kimchi and were knitting. Definite progress. The wheelchair must be challenging even if helpful.
