    Ken Livingstone has come out as Jewish! This is purely on the basis that his grandmother's name was Zona. Which admittedly does sound a bit Jewish. The only problem is that, in Hebrew, it means !!!!!.

    Edit:- The !!!!! should read w h o r e

    Which is a strange name for a grandmother.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My grandfather's name is Greek. He was about as ungreek as it is possible to be, unless Norfolk, where his family can be traced back centuries, is secretly a part of the Peloponnese.

    Crem went OK. Dear MiL went off in a wicker casket, which looked lovely, no arranged flowers, just some bunches of flowers from our gardens. Entertained by seeing 3 emus on the way there! :rotfl:

    Today we had a lovely visit from DD1, who's staying with DD2 ready for the Wake. My only Grandaughter Dora travelled up with her, Grandson Arthur comes tomorrow morning with Dad. Adorable Dora had her first taste of chocolate cake (gluten free!) with her lunch - along with cucumber fingers!

    Doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo!

    We did have a blackbird too (thanks to your explanation, I now know that was the birdsong I kept hearing! Didn't know they did the two-tone thing as well as "tunes!) but not heard it lately :(

    (((HUGS))) Maggie, I'm glad it went as well as these things can. What a joyful pic of Dora (and nice to see that name still in use :)) My Dad's name was Arthur, and I know of two little boys called Arthur now apart from your grandson! So it's obviously staging a comeback!

    The best are birds that can mimic other sounds. Our neighbours, years ago, had to get rid of their Trimfone - because a starling had managed to get the ringtone off to a T :rotfl:

    There's a very strange yellow thing in the sky - and the ground isn't wet.
    What is this strange thing called?

    t'up in Yorkshire the grass is wet and clouds abound in the sky, but crossing all my fingers that strange yellow thing makes an appearance soon :D

    In South Cumbria it started off looking nice, then clouded over just after dawn but now the clouds are broken up, all above 2000' high and the curious yellow thing is here too.
