(Are you volunteering to tell WaSp?)

Well, it is a medical necessity, after all, isn't it?,

It's not like you'd be getting just another soft toy!

How could he object?

I have retrieved Gitdog from kennels and taken him straight from there for a bath.
That was this morning and he still hasn't forgiven me.

So today's sweepstake is - how long can a Gitdog hold a grudge?

Until the next training day?
Then it'll be PAYBACK time!

I have just seen a photo of my great grandmother, great grandfather and great, great grandmother for the first time. My great grandmother looks exactly like my mother, it could be the same person. My cousin has so much family information it's untrue.

He also told me there is a history of migraine stretching far back in his family line so it isn't just my branch. His line also has the same thyroid disease that I suffer from. We are finding we have an awful lot in common, both with hereditary illnesses and upbringing. Our lines may have diverged but we have many similarities, just not many good ones!

Oh I don't know! It looks like you may both have the same caring qualities, and personal insight.

How fantastic, though! I've never seen a pic of my Great-great-grandmother!

I wonder if you could do the same on your father's side, at some stage?




In other news, I've just discovered that my poetry thread got a mention and a link in Martin's weekly email on 27th July! Wheeeeeee!
Fame at last! :rotfl:

I am enjoying your family history stuff, WaS.

And gitdog.

And looked at the lake district link - wow!

Last night I spent half an hour on the phone to Women's Aid on behalf of someone else. I have read about Women's Aid before on MSE but never contacted them. I have to say that they were brilliant - very understanding, quick to grasp situations and reassuring. It really did feel like a safe pair of hands.

Today we have got washing on the line, a huge amount of stuff dropped off at recycling (psychologically huge) and the house is clear and tidy apart from a messy pile of dry washing that needs to be put away.

If I am good today, I will have a productive day sorting out paperwork while DH is at work.

Just realised that I should have said 'I am not a turtle' in Welsh when we visit our holiday home.

I might do if I knew how to pronounce it: Nid wyf crwban

There are pronunciation sites on t'web!

Here's one. You type in the word and it speaks it.

I WANT ONE OF THESE!

I want one!

I want one!

I really, really want one!



A little medicines cabinet disguised as a book!



I want one!




(It's 17C and sold at auction for £4600-odd.
Am going to carry on wanting, aren't I?)
