A busy day. Grey this morning, brighter this evening. Helen came — disappointed when I wouldn’t go out.

  I was in a state of feverish anxiety this morning, waiting for the first MKAL clue. It finally came, and I have happily embarked on it — but I don’t know where it is. There is a message from KD that I can click on — there it is. But what’s its address? It doesn't seem to be in the KD section of my Ravelry library.

   It’s very easy, I am happy to report — a garter stitch triangle, beginning at the apex. The colours are working well. I cast on nine stitches. I’m now up to 33, and I hope to add more this evening. Alas, I don’t seem to have a functioning computer printer any more. I’d like to have it on paper.

   Today’s other excitement was the pursuit of the New Yorker article about Lucy Letby, the nurse convicted of killing all those babies. I have recently re-subscribed, but when I asked for that article it wouldn’t come up. I later learned that it has been withdrawn in Britain on the orders of the justice dept or some such. But Helen can get it! Rachel in London sent me a link that worked. I read it with intetest.

   Wordle: a toughie again. My starters gave me three browns. I struggled mightily, resisting Jean-words. I wound up with a perfectly legitimate word which achieved nothing but to add another brown. But the subsequent struggle wasn’t all that bad: four for me.

   However, that was undistinguished by today’s standards. Alexander joined me on four. Mark, Ketki and Thomas got it in three. Rachel and Roger and Theo all had totally brilliant twos.
