What a choice, for a mighty country — Biden or Trump! I am glad to be able to watch from a safe distance.
I found that I, if pressed, could not snap back with the year my husband died. I remember day and month, and have worked out the answer so I’m ready with it now. (Oddly, no one has asked.) Now I need to figure out how old the cat is.
I’ve done it. She moved in here in June 2015 and was presumably born in April. Coming up for her ninth birthday. Dear cat. Paradox was two years younger.
I did a pretty good evening’s-worth of knitting yesterday, and hope for the same again today. In the morning, when I finally attain my chair after the excitements of getting dressed and doing my exercises, I tend to drift off. Then, often, someone comes to see me (Helen, today). Then it’s nearly time to be transferred to the kitchen and start chopping something for lunch. Afternoon is carer’s-time-off when I try to sleep.
Wordle: fours and fives today. The early reporters, including me, all got stuck with grn, grn, grn, ???, ???. Ketki, Rachel and I scored five. Alexander had four. Mark managed to achieve our configuration on line two, and scored a brilliant three. The late reporters all came at the answer differently and all scored four — that’s Thomas and the Americans, Roger and Theo.
My cat, Bingley, is a month younger than yours. He still has bouts of playing, but I notice even more time spent napping in sunbeams and on laps. As an American expat in Edinburgh, I share your relief to watch the election from afar. Amy
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that the new carer is more agreeable. I had four in Wordle today. It is often harder when I get a couple of greens to start.
ReplyDeleteJean, it ought not even to be choice — Trump is an unethical, ill educated, bully of a criminal who should never have been elected in the first place. I would change many things about Joe Biden, but a second Trump presidency will be catastrophic.
ReplyDeleteThat comment above about Trump was by me, The Other Kristen — I did not intend anonymity!
DeleteI could tell you what year your husband died as my husband and I were there in Scotland at the time. We had gone to the Whisky Fest in Islay that year and I had hoped to see you when we got back to Edinburgh. Sadly your husband passed away while we were there in Islay and I hoped to go to the funeral but it happened to be on a day when we had other firm (ticketed) plans. I knew you would be busy with family and other obligations so I never contacted you at the time. You and I have gotten together twice since then but I don’t think I ever told you this. Hope to see you when I’m there in April this year!
