Before watching the Women’s Six Nations rugby matches between Wales and Ireland, and between England and Scotland on BBC iPlayer this afternoon, I recovered the following two posts:
The first was of the Attempt Block Recovery variety, to which I added the Header picture; the second, Convert to Blocks in which I changed the Header.
Later, I published https://derrickjknight.com/2023/03/25/droll-tales-17/
This evening we all dined on tasty roast gammon and kumara potatoes; creamy mashed potato and swede; juicy ratatouille; crunchy carrots; and tender Sweetheart cabbage, with which Jackie drank Hoegaarden and I drank Mendoza Malbec 2021.
Sounds like a very draining day topped off with a lovely restorative dinner.
Thanks very much, Pat
I’m sure you enjoyed the game and dinner after your WP efforts.
Thanks very much, Merril. One of the Scots team was Merril Smith. She was quite good.
That’s so funny. I don’t often find people with my first name, much less both names.
The first few paragraphs and some of the comments on this post are very relevant: https://derrickjknight.com/2015/12/11/strike-while-the-irons-hot/
Thank you, Derrick.
I would be very surprised to find someone with my name who looks like me!
I took my husband’s last name, Smith.
The iPlayer isn’t available in the states, bummer!
That is a shame, John. Thanks very much
Yes it is! ☹️
The rugby was really good. I wish I had gone to the England game.
Thanks very much, Gary
Time well spent ????
Oops sorry for typos. Ignore ????
No problem
Thanks very much, Rupali
Oh, Derrick … our similarities continue … “A Knight’s Tale #113” … my battles with hospital medics were both frustrating and continuous during the 30 years of her serious MS …
Thank you very much, once more, Ivor
Very moving story regarding your wife who passed, Derrick. Writing can be good therapy.
Indeed. Thank you very much, Steve
Your perseverance is admirable. I still use the classic editor and quail at the thought of changing.
I don’t blame you, Anne. Thank you very much
Sounds like a day with a good balance of activities. Topped off by a satisfying meal.
(((HUGS)))
Nicely understood, Carolyn. Thank you very much. X
Another productive day. Your supper sounds delicious. My supper was French bread and pâté, and just like you I enjoyed a couple of glasses of Malbec.
Something very odd this morning. I am suddenly receiving notifications of every comment on your blog!
I remember the heartbreaking story of Jessica’s illness. Sigh.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Some day, I need to figure out what’s involved in rugby. The only word that comes to mind when I hear ‘rugby’ is ‘scrum.’
My late brother, Chris, when first explaining the game to Jackie in the ’60s, said “You have to go forward to cross the line, but you can only do it by throwing it backwards”. Thanks very much, Linda
Well, that’s — interesting. One of these rainy days I’ll look for some video clips and see what the game actually looks like on the field!
I remember Jessica’s story, too. She is a part of Michael’s tree and daffodil garden, right along with his mother.
Thank you very much, as always, Lavinia
Congrats on recovering 2 important writings! I wish I could recover the writing from xanga days! Rugby and eating swede(?) are such foreign concepts to my American brain!
Thanks very much, Sweet. Our swede is your rutabaga
A quiet day and a lovely dinner!
Thanks very much, Ribana
Wasn’t “Tenacity” or “Persistence” the word you chose for 2023? It was something like that… and you certainly are living up to it!!
Thank you so much, Jan
