Is there any way of finding out which regiment etc the Italian prisoners were in where your father was?
It is going to be difficult for sure.
That aside what a nice looking lady,can you post it again?,it seems somewhat “ stretched “ widthwise.
I wish you luck with your search.

Viktoria, if you open the file it gives you the un stretched image!  ;D

I managed to see the picture  without being squished, your mother was beautiful Jeff.

Think I am getting  lazy in my old age, but I am still here.

Expected today to be a dull day with rain expected, but no, it has been a beautiful day, washing out, not quite dry but better with a fresh air dry.

I watched all the remembrance  day and the Albert Hall, all  very moving, I thought the King looked tired, I was so pleased it was reasonable weather for him to be standing around and not raining, would have been miserable fir everyone.

Take care

Well,gardener came today, a nice morning after so much rain.
All done and dusted to my satisfaction.
I had been given a quote, but what a nice surprise when it came in £400 cheaper.Had not had to use so much  material .
The flagstones jet washed for me too.
I paid over the phone but what a palaver ,my bank so thorough ,for my safety of course .

Baby Lily one year old today ,I phoned but had sent a card and a little bank account to be set up for her, better than too many toys ,it gets them saving .
Flash Harry and Kyra each have one from me .

Well ,bedtime -a lazy day as I find it difficult to work with other people round .
Goodnight everyone.
“See “ you tomorrow.
Viktoria.

Morning all
A lousy  day today  after having having a couple of nice bright days, typical me lost a nice washing day yesterday and today  is wet, silly me.

I have been given a task of finding someone's long list family, it is so complicated and I don't think I will  be able to sort it out, can't put it on an open board to delicate a problem, but hey ho, will give it a go.

My  neighbour across the road has his Christmas decorations  up, went up last weekend but no lights yet.

Take care everyone

House alarm system all checked today ,all O .K.

Dreadful weather heavy rain and strong winds, no T,V signal so missed Bargain Hunt.Aerial seems O.K so must be something else.
Hope it is back on for   Pointless , I like that .

Got  a big batch cook to do ,pork slices - about 1 cm thick  with  onions, sage
apple, veggie stock cube , then in portions for freezer .

Banana bread nice ,so easy but I need a new counter top mini oven .
I don’t want a microwave and ordinary  oven combination .
I sometimes need both at the  same  time .
It must save quite a lot of electricity ,not using the big oven which is unreliable.That is for a check and repair next week.
I hope it is condemned!

This heavy rain will surely cause problems,flooding etc and we are not in Winter yet!
That must be awful.


Need to get my big “ emergency “torch a new battery.The one in it is still O.K
according to my battery tester but a spare won’t go amiss.
Light bulbs too, I don’t understand new batteries and bulbs ,seem much more complicated nowadays. Fortunately we still have a wonderful hardware shop ,very obliging and who can advise on everything .Woodholme Supplies.
Go in with a screw,ask which size rawlplug and drill bit and come out fully informed ,for free.I usually get a lightbulb or something useful ,always good to have spares of things like that .

Well a cup of tea and  then” once more unto the breech dear friends”
Look after yourselves .Viktoria.

The weeks go by so fast I've lost track ... but hopefully Viktoria you're behaving yourself  ;)

While quickly passing through the city yesterday, I noticed a massive Christmas bauble already in place in a downtown square, possibly more than just the one as I didn't venture closer to look, size and colour made it stand out in view.

I was making up for lost time a bit with a grand day out, kept away from 'people' for a full week, really sore throat 8 days then conjunctivitis last weekend, so some viral thing, all ears, nose, throat, eyes  :P but did start to think bacterial ... however cleared up finally and covid test negative  :)

Enjoy the weekend all  :) ...

Hope ýou continue to feel better,  you have had a bad week.
