I can't believe its September already - where does the time go? I kept thinking I should write a blog post but then what should I write about. I've tried to pick a theme but to no avail. So today is the day to waffle about nothing.
Seriously life does seem to be getting back to normal but with less spontaneity - you go can go places or eat out but only if you remember to book in advance etc. I did get out to meet a few friends that I haven't seen since March and we had a visit to school on exam results day as our Exam Officer retired. I've been invigilating for 14yrs so will now be on my 4th Exam Officer - we'll soon have the new one trained to our way of doing things, assuming they ever do exams again. Who knows what will happen!!
Other than that we've been gardening and walking although that was curtailed by a week of 34 degrees heat followed by the week of rainy stormy weather. It seems to have settled down again. Our touring caravan sprang a leak over the winter so it was a little damp in one corner. We've had that fixed now so can go on holiday but where do/can we go and will the weather hold. Who knows - watch this space.
Other than that I've been working on my family history and writing my life story. I have no idea if anyone will be interested to read it but I don't care - I'm doing it for me. I started out 17yrs ago as my Dad wanted to know if we were descended from Hugeunots - I'm still not sure........but will keep looking. I've definitely got back to a marriage in 1718 but am temporarily lost.
Anyway thats my September post...maybe I'll be back before October!!
Take care everyone

Considering you thought you had nothing to talk about you have done a brilliant job Elaine! I think it is lovely that you are writing your life story, I think more people should do that. I have only found out things about my parents since they died and would love to have heard their stories first hand.
ReplyDeleteMy brother did our family history a good few years back and there were some interesting findings (along with a fair few skeletons). I find family history fascinating, good luck with your further searches.
Keep safe and well and lets hope we get back to some kind of normality before too much longer. Anne xxx
