Hello Ed, why is your sister looking at Scotland's history? Does your family come from Scotland? I did do a small search into the Paull family today. Went onto the same site that my cousin Beverly used to search Mum's family. Family Search.org Bev got lots of information from that site and it is free. I have now joined the site but couldn't spend too much time on it today. Well at least I have made a start. I will write a short tree for you re. my children etc. I cooked my dinner this evening rather than having frozen meals which I have been having for the last 2 weeks. I am not sitting outside tonight as it is so cold and blustery. I will soon be in bed to continue reading 'The Book Collectors of Daraya.' It is about Syrian revolutionaries rescuing books in their bombarded town, Daraya, and creating a secret library. 2012. Has the 'Orbital' book found its way to you? How is Sandra today?

Hello Ed, blowing a gale here as well. I have the heating on. Footy has started not sure how Collingwood is going as I have been preoccupied. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, happily we have found a Respite Hospital for Mum and it looks wonderful. She moves there tomorrow. So you will be caring for the cats for a week whilst Tracey goes skiing with Jake. I am a little / lot confused about the relationship. Doesn't take much to confuse me at the moment. I need to create a mental picture of your family tree. I have opened a page in my notebook (paper not on line). Starting with you and Sandra. Who is Jake's father? Is he Tracey's son? Help!

Thanks for the FM!

Morning splash-- I am up early again as I have things needing done here and only so much time. My counter tops have to be totally cleared and not dishes left in the sink(I have a habit of leaving the dishes to dry in the rack) It doesn't look very bright this morning but I will just be in the building so doesn't matter, I have found that people  who talk over you sometimes do not hear properly so just barge in,but if she has always done it I guess her brain is ahead of the conversation and she just has to get it out now. Will try to have a quieter less active day today but as I say got things that need to be done. HAVE A GOOD DAY AND MAKE SUR  YOUR FEET ARE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CART!!!

Hello ED, OUCH that must have hurt! This morning I went for my coffee before Art Group. There was a gentleman there that I often bump into and we discovered that we have connections with his family in Mansfield. When I arrived he stood up and introduced me to his friends. Then invited me to join them. I indicated a friend who was waiting for me and thanked him. Sat and chatted with Sue and as we were leaving once again he stood up to say goodbye. What a gentleman! After that I went to Art group and had a lovely time as usual. I am home again and waiting for a chap to deliver a poster for my front gate re. a candidate for a bi election in my area. I always take my vote seriously and I am supporting an Independent Candidate after doing my research. Enjoy your day.

splashed--I am still in one piece and as sane as I am ever going to be. Yesterday I needed some pills but had to see a doctor. Mine was solid booked so decided to go to after hours but before I could go Jessica said the pharmasist could handle it but when I phones the girl didn't have a clue and said the pharmasist would call back. Waited over an hour,no call so got SIL to take me to after hours --was there at 5:30 and never saw the doctor until 7:30,then it was get the prescription filled and never got home until after 8. Fed a cat.some quick supper and off to bed(of course with all the turmoil,couldn't get to sleep so as a result never woke until 7:40. Flew  around here and was ouit of here by 8:30. The tour of the city because the bridge is under repair,saw the doctor and I was back home by 9:30 so did the wash. I am not firmly seated for the rest of the day. It did snow yesterday but not stay--today sun and 1. Glad to hear that O is corresponding with you at least though facebook. Have a good day.

Hello Ed, that is GREAT that you have had another message from not so little O. It seems like the ice has been broken. As to what I am reading....I am about to finish another Jack Reacher book by Lee Child. The series is a go to when I don't want to overthink anything. Just get immersed in the story. A distraction. I have a few interesting books next to my bed waiting. One that I am leaning towards is a true story about the war in Syria 2012 and a Library that was secretly established underground. I am always interested in true stories about people saving books.
