A good day. The hospital appt went well, I tried out a wheelchair and steered it with verve. The NHS is going to give me a lifetime loan of it. And the fortnightly changeover from one carer to the other also went well.

  I got a fair amount of knitting done. I have now done an agonising round of purling to mark the turn, and started knitting back up the underside of the hem, and it’s going fairly briskly. We need a pic.

   It was grand driving through Edinburgh to the hospital. Daffodils are out in full force in all the parks. Glorious!

   I had leftovers of yesterday’s cold chicken with a spicy Sechuan sauce for my lunch. I added some steamed vegetables — mange tout and carrot — but unfortunately they are underdone — not my fault. Tomorrow I may be ready to move on to Vegetarian Clay-Bowl ‘Chicken’.

   Wordle: it’s a stinker, a Wordle classic. I was overjoyed to score six. I had four greens, with the gap in 4th place. I still had two more letters to try when I struck lucky and got it right on the 6th line. Rachel and Mark failed. Ketki was another six, Thomas and Theo had five, Alexander and Roger four.
