Fishcakes, Maisie Dobbs and the Sock Ministry

Today was all rain with intervals of more rain. I used the last of the cod for fishcakes, the homemade kind with a lot of fish, not too much filler. 

Enough for two meals.


Served with a tomato salad and garlic scapes. No need for fancy sauces, just fish mashed with potatoes, an egg to bind it.  I do like fishcakes.

And the weather lent itself to reading and knitting, 

A Dangerous Place, a Maisie Dobbs novel by Jacqueline Winspear. I've read it before but it can stand a second reading. Set in Gibraltar and Spain during the Spanish civil war, at the time of Guernica. It's wonderfully written.

And knitting -- today I finished knitting and pressing the last sock of Pair Twelve of the Sock Ministry.  This last pair is the spiral design you've seen before but reversed, using the other side as the "right" side. It's pretty much reversible socks.



So I'll send off the package on Monday. I did send an email alerting them to socks incoming.

Then I'll get to a bit of stitching. 

Since I seem to be on a Hopkins Thompson thing, I'm picking up the DVD of Howard's End tomorrow. 

Keep dry! If you marched for human rights, thank you. If you donated to Ukraine, thank you.
