Spring continues to advance, but slowly.

  Helen’s husband David is here for a long weekend from Thessaloniki. We had a nice visit this morning. 

  Thank you for your book suggestions (comments yesterday). I’ll keep a memo. For the moment i’m reading (audibly) Robin Lane Fox on the Iliad and “Damascus Station” by David McCloskey, recommended strongly by David this morning. I feel it may be too masculine and exciting for me. I also — while David and Helen were here — ordered the Loeb edition of the Iliad from Amazon. That’s the one that has English and Greek on facing pages.

  I am astonished that we didn’t have it amongst our many Loebs, but I am told not. 

  All very cultured. But I have done no actual reading or knitting today, so it doesn’t count for much.

  Wordle: Two for Thomas; three for Rachel, Alexander, Ketki, Roger, and Mark; four (oh dear) for me and Theo.
