    I'm doing some editing of a genealogical biography, to make sure I do nothing physical 🤣  it's of my dad, who was up and down the eastern and southern Mediterranean coasts during WW2 as a Leading Aircraftman. Italian opera singers, Arab tribal leaders exiled to Egypt, learning to drive on campaign,  arriving for leave at home in a bombing raid, nicking a flag off a Russian staff car 🤣  you'd never have thought it, I'm so surprised I managed to ask him so many questions.

    Fascinating stuff! Sounds not dissimilar to my granddad’s experiences as a navigator in the RAF - we have photos of the pyramids from his postings!

    Oh wow!  My dad was always at a listening post ... but I wonder if he ever drove past a base where your granddad was posted?  That would be something.  I've abandoned it for the evening, I've come to the bit where my notes are really messed up, so I'm faffing now :)

    Right, I'm back to doing stuff - I'm halfway through a lot of things - cleaning the pantry, coating the shelves in a bleach solution, decluttering the pantry so the mould is less likely to happen, cleaning the shopping that was delivered yesterday.  There's also some Christmas cards that were delivered yesterday, time to open them now :) 

    I would really like for the downstairs to be more or less in order for NYE.

    Happy New Year everyone 🌞

    So, I've been burning up WhatsApp all over the planet :) and after I'm sprayed some white vinegar on the shelves, I'm off out for a walk, it's not raining, which is the equivalent of "sunshine all day everywhere" at the moment.

    Happy new year! Glad you haven't got any rain - it's been absolutely bucketing down here all morning (I don't mind, I'm not going anywhere today anyway!) Enjoy your walk :smile:
