Today, I spent 10 minutes fixing a hole on the left sleeve of my favourite knitted jacket. Not sure whether to put the darning materials away.

Hi Tom, I've just sent a message. Thanks very much!

Books with maps are the best.

Ok, now I've Googled it. Wow.

Prison reform?

I've got an Epson printer that's very good. Not sure of the model number but it's one where you decant ink into it rather than using cartridges. Ink tank might be part of the name. I'm not in the same place as it at the moment so can't check.

A month is a long time without hobbits.

Great idea. Slight problem, though... How do you then stop playing tetris? I've never found it is something I can just dip into for a few minutes. It's either a life-altering obsession or not a part of life at all.

Oh, this is completely separate from knitting. I knit all the time. This is the moment I start wearing the knitted socks. Until mid-April, that's all I wear on my feet.

The season may begin at a different time where you are. It's the first day my feet have felt too cold, which has led me to declare the season open. 2/2
