I haven’t written. I did make grape jelly, but I’m almost certain it’s not going to turn out. I think I put too much liquid in, ’cause I misunderstood the instructions. Well, we’ll see. My hair has reached this length that I didn’t know existed. It is a length of ‘Ok, I would like to braid this back out of the way now please’. I don’t remember ever having hair which I had the impulse to braid before, so this is clearly a new and different length for me. (I’m…
mandarin painting and other good stuff :)

Instead, an hour after he left, Ted came back because the Jeep was overheating. So he’s gone to the shop so they can look at it, and I’m all out of sorts because I’d had this plan and it’s been thwarted. (Ted is equally out of sorts, actually.) Well, what the hell,…
