A dull, grey day. I disappointed Helen by being unwilling to go out. I’ve promised to be more energetic tomorrow. I’ve felt limp all day.
The MKAL begins tomorrow. That’s something to feel energetic about. Real-life knitting advanced somewhat today. Anonymous (comment yesterday) how I envy you, making your first acquaintance with Allingham. You ain’t seen anything yet.
I’m afraid to read ahead on the club list, for fear of forgetting what I’ve already read before they are discussed. But I think there are some early, pre-war Campions not mentioned in the schedule which I could safely indulge in.
Kenji on salads turns out to be good. I am listening to him again in the hopes of picking up on the bits I slept through the first time. I didn’t know that you put mustard in a vinagrette to emulsify it — I thought it was just for flavour. The trouble is that I tend to drift off while he is discussing the different types of salad leaf — most of them unknown in Britain — and miss the exposition of the different types of salad dressing.
Wordle: distinctly tough again today. My starters gave me two greens. My guess at line three added another. And there I stuck for a long time, near despair. Then I found a possibility, and it was right. Four for me.
It was the same score for all the rest of us in GB except for Thomas, who scored three. Theo was another four. Nothing from Roger yet.
Grey and rainy here again, but I didn't let it stop me from voting in the Maryland primary election. Shopping can wipe you out. Starting the KAL should help. I hope your carer wasn't seriously ill.
ReplyDeleteCampion is generally fun. I think of him as a light version of Wimsey.
Thank you for introducing me to Kenji, what a treat! My husband is now a solid fan and by all accounts he lives but a stone throw away from us.

I am swatching for the Fitton's Dynamo cover up right now, as it would go very very well with my favourite dress. But the MKAL is next! At least clue 1 doesn't look very brain intensive.
ReplyDeleteHaven't started on the books yet, as my e-reader vendor doesn't provide them and I've ben too lazy to get the USB cable out. Modern problems :) I hope you feel more energetic today and have a nice outing, maybe with a spot of MKAL knitting?
