Morning SG I hate having anything done in the house lately, but it's a necessary evil sometimes. I'm not fully aware of the back story with the DNA, but is it something you did with a specific goal in mind, or did it just start out as looking into your family tree? Hope the service goes well, I'd consider it a real honour being asked to read. x

Morning, yes the goal was to try and find out about my mums dad . My gran had married him a couple of years before my mum was born but then seemed to disappear from the world . My mum ended up in a children's home from the age of 6 to 15 owing to various reasons . She has no memories of her dad , she just wanted a photo of him. Through the DNA test I have successfully traced her first cousins and now the half sister and brothers .

That's wonderful SG. I imagine a lot of your time and energy has gone into doing this. I hope your Mum is happy to know she has an extended family and vice versa and that she's able to get some answers to things she's been wondering about over the years. x

The ceiling got done yesterday, hooray. I am now in the North East and it seems very windy outside .

I have ordered my wallpaper to collect at a store up here , the decorator maybe able to start on Monday . I will know tomorrow for definite .

Either way I am having a few days at my sons next week whilst he is away on holiday . WFH makes this possible , so why not better than sitting on my bed every evening .

Have a good day everyone.

Wallpaper bought , back home now . The service was a fitting tribute to my friend ,there were about 70 people there . We had to wear masks for singing , but I kept mine on apart from me reading a bit about my friend.

The ceiling has dried out well whilst I have been away , the decorator starts tomorrow. I am going to live at my sons for a few days whilst he is away .
Two more work weeks and then I am off for 3 weeks , can't wait.
