 Bright and cold today. I think much of the UK was worse.

  Helen came, and we made some progress with financial problems. One of my bank accounts got frozen last year because I wasn’t using it enough. They warned us, but it was during the period when I was in and out of hospital and Cramond and Helen was away teaching mosaic-making. The problem is complicated by the fact that there are few bank branches left any more, with managers you can actually talk to. We’ll win in the end.

 Helen has been here for the rest of the day, working on a mosaic commission in the room that used to be my husband’s study. There’s lots more space there than in her studio. But she brings her own lunch when she’s working here, and I haven’t seen her.

 World news is too depressing to talk about.

  Wordle: four for me today. I had all but the last letter right on line three. Ketki and Roger were my fellow-fours. Three for everybody else. Pretty easy, I guess.

  1. Bright, sunny, not as cold as previous days on the south coast. Went out for first wheelchair adventure with him to see the sea. I'm now knitting ankle/legwarmers for him in great haste, and have looked out a woolly hat he can wear as well!

    I agree about world news and even am ashamed to be an American with the possibility of a second Trump presidency.

    This bank stuff can be very exhausting!
    Glad Helen is working on it with you.
    Toronto weather will be above freezing most of the week, but may finally see some snow on Thursday followed by weekend below freezing. It's quite weird to just have no snow around.
