Here's where I am just now
Indoors I'm listening to The Queen who Came in from the Cold while trying this with the cotton yarn. 20 gauge copper wire ribs, with 28 gauge wrapping in the middle.
This may or may not work. Nice try.
I saw a great online presentation from Textile Museum Associates of Southern California, TMASC, about Tibet, textiles and culture, and found they were not permitting screenshots and write ups.
There's another program in March which looks good, but I won't be doing screenshots. If you're interested, you can get in touch directly with TMASC and go from there. Registration is free and they send a link and reminders
Here's the March one
So that's us for now. People are less open to screenshots than they were -- when they started doing online presentations, they were happy to boost the signal since I always give credit very clearly, complete with website information.
But now I plan to just recommend good programs and let you follow up. I think you'll like them, definitely worth the extra effort.
The Queen who Came in from the Cold was very good, with all kinds of shocking twists and turns, highly recommended. Even the afternotes are good.
Now I've embarked on
By Martin Edwards, whom I last heard on the Shedunnit podcast talking about clue detectives, and the mystery writer's skill in leaving clues for the attentive reader.
I came to find that this one is written in the form of a murder game, where the reader can take part at various levels of involvement.
My first reaction was similar to when I encounter diy store check-outs -- I didn't come here to work! But I'll give it a try. I really fancied just being a passenger in a mystery story where the writer did the work but I won't be too hasty here.
Bitter wind today, not helped by sunshine. I'm not going out. I plan to read, bake banana bread and later eat some of same.
Happy day everyone, keep warm/dry/cool/hydrated, rayez ce qui est inutile.
That's my favorite bit of French bureaucratese, meaning delete that which is not applicable, hilarious in English, too.
How does it go in Spanish? I bet the ancient Sumerian clay tablets have an equivalent.
