Hello Again,
Just managed to get on Wifi, we had one heck of a storm last night, not a lot of rain but oh the thunder and lightening, it was like daylight.The sun is out now and it seems like last night never happened.
Seems as if Robert is too cosy in his shell,shall we all go and tip him out of it(gently mind) and Frank well I could do with your help in Guernsey, you sound like a very handy man to have around.
I have been for a walk in the woods today and saw a small deer( dont think it was bambi) it was not impressed with me and scooted off pretty quickly.
Will be off out for lunch soon, I will come back ASAP but Wifi is not good at the moment.
Take care everyone

Thank you Alice, it was very kind of you to let us know that the tips were helpful.


Sounds like you are having a bad time out there Sue - hope it has calmed down for you now.


Another dull day here but no proper rain as yet unfortunately. Ah well, I have the excitement of Tesco to fact so I mustn't grumble.....lol


Now then Robert, how is life in the shell? We would love to have a wave from you every now and again.


Back later. Love. Cx

Hi Everyone

Sorry about being missing .

We have had the most terrible storms over here,no power for all of the afternnoon ( thursday)then no internet until this morning and it is still pooring down.

Must say the wind has got better but they say we are in for another lot today so I am getting this off while I can.

Anne I am so sorry for you,I know what you must be going through,I have to get all the taxes together and off to the Tax department for the workers,I will be glad when the OH retires and we can go on the pension.
My brain will get a rest them.

We now have hailstone falling my god what next.

Glad to see you are all well and nice and warm,my fire has not gone out for three weeks.

Better get this off before we loose the power again ,try to get back later if possible.

Poor Anne...it sounds horrendous for you. Just don't go overdoing it. Look forward to hearing more from you when you have time.



Jeanie, I sent Ann a pm too, just in case she didn't look back in here. Hope she gets sorted.


Had a nice lunch out today with a friend....lots of talk...how unusual for me!


Had a couple of giggles on threads and messages today. One lady thought a member of her family had had 'a unfair' with someone and then I got a message from somebody who had forgotten that she had posted a thread.....yesterday!!! Hey ho, it all goes to make this site good fun!


Going to sort out one of my own rellies now!! Love to all Cx

Afternoon - very quick flying visit

i am well - far too hot in the Greenhouse here - very muggy

Far Far too busy (never thought I woudl ever say that - at the moment i am in at 7:30am (with very good intentions of doing lots of little things till 9am)when phones go live - Have i actually done what I set out to do - NO NO NO - worked through lunch every day so far - Took me over an hour to finish a small cup of soup (in between calls) the other day. then i leave at 6pm and still haven't managed to do half the work that came in over the phones

I am so losing it and tomorrow there is only 2 in most of the day instead of 6 so it is going to be much much worse.

Have to go had a quick 10 min break kust for a change.

Take care all

Ann

Sorry cannot really help you with that but I have just put a search in on the Trying to Find Board "irish roots". You might like to do the same. Have copied one thing which may be of use to you:-

The site address is www.census.nationalarchives.ie
This is a very significant event for anyone tracing their Irish roots. Only the 1901census and 1911 census were preserved in full and the best thing is that its all FREE to view.

Also you could in the names of specific people to see if information has already been found. I'm assuming you are a new member and may not be aware of how helpful search facility can be.

You could also post a request on Trying to Find or the Tips Board just asking for anyone with helpful tips on Irish records.

Regards
Jeanie

do you research irish roots?

Edited out late night ramblings which were probably a load of nonsense about password.

Night night.

Jeanie

Hi


yep, our weathermen are noting the fact that we have had no chance to get accustomed to warmer temperatures ....... we've basically gone straight from 16 or 17C to mid-20s in just a couple of days.

It's now over 29C at almost 3 pm


and, of course, very high UV factors



That's a pity about Debbie ..... and most aggravating!




sleep well

Hi Sylvia, this is what she says:


"I've had trouble with my Genes Reunited. I paid for another 6 months and 3 weeks later it closed me down, I obviously have a virus but GR refuse to believe me, I'm really annoyed as having paid for 6 months and only getting 3 weeks is not very fair. GR say there is nothing wrong with my site and it must be my computer but I have had it checked and all is fine.... So I no longer have any access to the site."



I have no idea what the solution is though.


Goodness me. One day you have the central heating on and the next it's a large fan. You mustn't know whether you're coming or going!!



We could really do with some heavy rain here to be honest and I am not looking forward to our proposed hosepipe ban at all. Seems really strange to be wanting rain to arrive!



Well, it's getting late so night night all. Cx.

Hi all



everyone must be busy ..... I do hope that is why it has been so quiet.


Sitting here with a large fan blowing on me ................ it's already 26 outside at almost 11:30am.


Never satisfied am I!!!



C .... is it Debiie's connection that won't let her post or GR that has for some reason cancelled her membership???


Please give her my love if you have contact again

We could do with some of your rain Sue. It's just been announced that there is to be a hosepipe ban in this area from Friday evening. Oh dear.


Wonder how Anne, Josie and the rest of the crowd are?



Robert, could you give me a wave please, it's kind of lonesome on here?


Back later. Cx

Hi Everyone

Nice weather Sylvia,we could do with some of it here.

It is so cold ,we had a lot of rain last night but the sun is out this morning so I am off on my bike to do some banking.

Evelyn
My mother was born in Burma in a British army garrison 1932,her birth was registered along with her twin sister.
Have you been intouch with the army about this at all they may come up with something for you.
You can also ring them ,141 2242146 ,they were very helpfull when I got my Grandfathers Military records.

Well I am off for my ride.
Will check in later

Hi all


had physio today, then sushi lunch, afternoon coffee ............ and finally got home!

It's a lovely day today .......... summer is finally here.

The temperature will be up to close to 30 tomorrow, then muggy nights.


I really like it when the temp is about 20-22C ...... above that is too hot for me.

Sounds like you are having a relaxing time Evelyn, enjoy it and I hope the weather lasts for you.


Have done the school run; fed and watered them and they've gone home......bless.


Had an email from Debbie...it's such a shame she can't get back on here. As Anne has already told us, Debbie paid for another 6 months and, after 3 weeks it closed down. GR denies any responsibility so it looks like Debbie has paid for nothing!



Well, maybe it's an early night after having had an early morning.


Night folks. Cx

Hello All,
I am having trouble with the Wifi here at the moment.
We have been out for lunch I had a delicious steak and Ron had salad.
The weather is delightful nice and sunny with a cooling breeze, just my style.
Regarding folk not being registered, I was told at Edinburgh Registar House that in the years that Diane, My mother was born in India whilst her father was serving there with the Seaforth Highlanders, service men whose children were born abroad were not obliged to register them and it is quite possible that Diane was never registered anywhere, which of course adds to the problem of finding her, seriously I dont think we will ever find her roots.
Fingers crossed my youngest granddaughter,s eyes are O K at present, she had further botox and it is working at the moment.
I have a good book to read so am going to sit outside in the shade and have a good read.
Love to everyone

Evelyn XX

Afternoon all. Not many about today I see.


Cloudy but quite nice here today.


Off on the school run soon so just having a mooch around. Cx
