Lost Earring

See this earring? I lost its twin on Tuesday, somewhere between the train garden and my home.  I am upset because these earrings belonged to my mother and they are so small I thought they would be safe to wear.  I hope that I lost the earring at home and it will turn up one day like the proverbial bad penny!!

Ireland is not giving up its secrets so I will have to wait until I can speak with my cousin. 

I have found distant cousins now on my Nanna's side of the family.  There is a family for her eldest brother and also for her third eldest brother, one tree even has my parent's names - that is peculiar .... to see my parents on someone else's tree!!!

Now that I have Nanna's sisters names and her Auntie's names I am hoping to trace back and have some success with history!!

I have sent a letter on DH's behalf to EMN requesting confirmation that there is a family connection ..... I hope the letter did not cause too much turmoil in their household yesterday (Friday).  We wait and see what happens now.

I am full of cold - sneezing, general ague and now I have resorted to Beechams!  I don't seem to be able to shake this off, each day starts off good and then about 16.00hrs I start to go downhill .......... if I find out who gave these germs to me I shall give them back!!!

I have a greenhouse full of seedlings and small plants waiting to be planted on but with the weather being so pernickety they will have to wait a while.

I went for a McD's with N to celebrate TK's birthday and was told that 'The Phantom of the Opera' is coming to town later in the year ........ I am really trying to talk myself into being brave (see March 22nd posting).
