I had a nice long phone conversation with my mother this morning. She has a new hearing aid. She likes it better than the old one (and much better than the one they gave her in between), and I think was hearing me more clearly.

Having declared myself retired, I have unsubscribed from a couple of editorial email lists, and removed the "freelance editor" part of my twitter bio, which looked bare enough that it now says "freelance editor (retired), until I think of something I want to have there besides "antifa. she/her. hope is a virtue." (I don't use Twitter much.)

Tonight's supper felt very autumnal: roast sweet potato, a glass of milk, and an Elstar apple.

I feel so grateful, at my age, to have time with my dad. He was over today and I ate lunch in the garage, while he was there working on taking a chair apart.

Congratulations on your retirement!

Sounds like a nice supper to me!

Elstar are one of the nicer new varieties.

We were in our local market yesterday and the Cox and Russet apples are arriving! We've already had early Windsor and Worcester. :o)
