Uninterrupted.


Sometimes, at the end of a long day spent with an absolute oaf of a brother ...


.... all a girl wants to do is snuggle up with a day-glo orange squeaky friend ...


.... and have a long uninterrupted nap and dream of self filling yogurt pots.




The New York Review of Books is eagerly awaited in this household. The latest edition has this piece of gentle lyricism.

After a couple of days with old documents this seems like a good idea : https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/transcribe-old-documents-unreadable-handwriting

Most interesting article thank you. Mind you, I'm on a very high dose of prednisone and my shaking might defeat Linda! Where was Bob while Sophie snoozed in such bliss? In the kitchen perhaps?

The expert in old documents is brilliant. At first I thought it was just the challenge for me in Italian for one line of my family, but then I was failing with digitized parish records in Old Kilpatrick for great - great...grandparents written in English. It's beautiful to look at, but impossible to make out. I guess the Palmer method for handwriting is also going the way of the dodo, so no one will be able to make out our scrawls.
