I love lists in all shapes and forms. My kids have started leaving rude words or messages on my Alexa shopping list. Both kids are not often at home so it always makes me smile when I read them. The latest was "Je t'aime maman. Made me go all soppy in the supermarket. I didn't realise there was a French wordle. I'll have to try it although I'll probably be rubbish as it. :)
Thanks for making me laugh out loud. The bit about doing wordle in other languages. I was mega-impressed by your long list of languages, then I read your explanation of technique. Now it’s the technique that impresses me. I shall have to try this, especially when I forget another name and wonder if dementia is on its way to greet me
Have you read the marvelous sci-fi novel A Canticle for Leibowitz (Walter Miller)? The basis of a religious order in a post-apocalyptic America is a shopping list made by a nuclear scientist: "Can kraut, pound pastrami, six bagels." A beautiful book, highly recommend.
Love a good list. But I really came here to say Still Life with Chip Fryer is superb! Must investigate further 💙
So love a good list for order in chaos and progress when stuck.
You may enjoy George Perec’s « Tentative d’épuisement d’un lieu Parisien », a whole
book of nothing but lists of things Perex spots on the place St Sulpice in the 70s.
I just love the way your mind works Jane!
1. I love a list
2. Usually a list makes me feel I am getting things ‘done’
3. At the moment, too much to do and lists are making me feel more inadequate
4. Have started a list of things to do during the Christmas holidays- that’s much more encouraging.
Thank you x
Your're a woman after my own heart :)

All I enjoyed especially:
1. Literary connections
2. The Spam art!!! OMG
3. Children’s lists (do you have memories of hopeful Christmas tomes in list form?)
4. Everything else!
