Another dull, grey day of non-accomplishment. Helen should be back tomorrow.
A neighbour whom I hadn’t seen for a long time came to call this morning. It was delightful to see her. She spoke with great enthusiasm about Galla Placidia of whom I know nothing except a vague recognition of the name. Perhaps I should advance in that direction. She — my neighbour — was a lawyer/solicitor in active life, so 5th century Europe is home ground for her.
Knitting has proceeded, slowly, slowly.
Wordle: we were all over the place today. Five for me. The starters produced two vowels and a consonant, all brown. The guesses for lines three and four were both valid and both useful.
Ketki and Thomas and Theo were fellow-fives. Rachel failed. Alexander and Mark both had brilliant threes, although Mark appended a note suggesting that his was a lucky fluke. Silence so far from Roger. I’ll add him in if heard from before my early bedtime.
I usually don’t do wordle until I’ve finished the morning paper. That’s why I’m usually late. Got it in 3 today.
ReplyDeleteGalla Placidia? I had to look her up. This came to the top of the search: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/misunderstood-roman-empress-willed-way-to-top-180981294/
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Lou, for the Smithsonian link. The other main entry was a little too turgid with facts and hard to get through. I think history told with imagination but still true to the facts is an art form, Almost a history teacher.
