Gosh,time is rushing by, baby Lily is six months and seems very advanced, can put her dummy in her mouth herself.My babies sucked their thumbs so that was easy .
She is all smiles and seems very sociable ,but all the salesmen and mechanics hold her and she is used to being at work with her mum, in the office.

The puppy is growing fast ,whacking big paws and very bouncy ,wells so young yet it is natural.
I have got Flash Harry a biggish kite ,shaped like The Vulcan ,there are often very strong winds across the Suffolk countryside so he might get a good bit of fun with it.
The old toys have a lot of play value don’t  they.

Strong winds here and they are cold ,sin went fir fish and chips but I could not risk eating any ,had a wobbler this morning ,fluttery heartbeat and fast too but better after a Gaviscon ,so thought F&C were perhaps best avoided.

Nearly all packed up now ,son will take my luggage in the car , I can’t do the long journey now so other son will drive me to Bury Metrolink which goes right in to Manchester Piccadilly , a lift to the main concourse where someone will be waiting to help me to Platform 13 for the train to Ely and a seat .
My tickets are paid for ,I just have to type in  a code and out they pop , from a machine in the main area by the ticket sales point.
Daughter will be waiting at Ely .
It is a year since I last saw them ,well My grandson and family have been up a few times as the children’s other grandma lives not far away,well Radcliffe, Bury.They always visit me too.

Well must get on, packing done as son leaves tomorrow ,I won’t have anything heavy ro carry.
Got a book to read ,dash!I realise I have read it a few years ago ,about Prince Arthur who married  Katherine of Aragon ,but he died and so a few years later Henry VIII married her maftrr looking through the Bible and finding  the passage where it says “ And thou shalt take unto thyself thy brother’s widow”
 then years later finding “ Thou shalt not take unto thyself thy brother’s widow”  whatever suited at the time !
I realised a few pages in I hsd read it before ,but worth a re read.

Cheerio for now.I feel better for a sit down and another indigestion tablet .
Look after yourselves especially those with difficult conditions , I hope you see some good improvement.
Viktoria.

Well a bit of a bombshell this evening—- the metro link tram service will end at Piccadilly gardens and not enter Piccadilly station ,nothing said re a substitute like a bus but of course the metrolink goes underground for the last bit of the journey then a lift takes you to the main concourse , well son taking luggage down but I can’t face the awful road journey ,so few convenience stops , hence the train travel , so what happens next?
I must enquire re a taxi etc from Piccadilly Gardens.
Oh honestly, I am fed up with it all.
There may be some help available so fingers crossed ,I will look straight away.
Viktoria.

what happened in May ?
i seem to.have hibernated all thru it

so ready to be busy again

on the genealogy front i dipped my.toe into heir hunting
a friend told me about a missing cousin who was mentioned in his grandfathers will  in 2003 but no-one knew where he was including his own father as parents had divorced when he was 7 and mother had remarried twice ..they thought he may have changed surnames . i found a few likely candidates on electoral roles from.2011 & with a bit of googling found a business profile which mentioned town hed gone to school in ...so i gave the family the business contact details ...SUCCESS the uncle who s managing probate is about to sell the house so it will be good if ALL the grandchildren get a share

+ my big blooper of today was accidently merging a pair of twins
to make it worse they both had 2 wives and had some children with sane names

Fancy naming twins John Joseph & joseph John
they both worked as railway porters so even when id unraveled them i dont know which RAILWAY employmentk records belong to JJ

im supposed to be running a time travel detective workshop at local library on saturday but realise i havent heard back from staff to confirm.

The warm sunny weather has led me into all kinds of late Spring cleaning activities, and today I have washed some cushions (the covers are an integral part of the cushions, but I have washed them before and I know that they will be all right) and also shampooed the easy chairs they were used with.  After I have had my coffee break I will wash some paintwork, including the white painted Ikea dining chairs.  All Ikea stuff and well used over around 15 years, but wearing well.

I have finally got a date for my proposed pacemaker to be fitted, not far away now, and I must admit I am feeling quite nervous about it.  I'd be glad to hear from anyone who has had this procedure and the difference it has made to their life, but only the good stuff, please!  It's nearly a year since the cardiologist told me that I would need one, but apparently I wasn't at the top of the 'urgent' list, so I expect others in more pressing need came before me.

Viktoria, I hope your journey turns out well.  I'm sure you will love seeing your family, especially the little ones.  Take care and look after yourself.  Life gets so complicated as you get older, doesn't it?  :)

I’m in the 18th year with a pacemaker gillg.  Basically it made it so that I could keep going.  I would become so breathless that I would need to stop repeatedly when going anywhere.  It does depend on why you need it as to the difference it will make to you.
