Find Ancestors

Sorry guys,

Been a sh*t couple of months and i've kinda just stuck my head into work (and partying).

I think i'm now coming out of my mad phase....

How are we all?

Glad you are coming out of it Trace - It has been a hard time for you - you have to cope with it as you can !!

Hi Tracey, I was only thinking about you earlier today and was going to ask Gins how you were given all the probs you have had.


Gins is having probs renewing her subs so you may need to contact her elsewhere... ;-)

Whilst i have your fine attention, i need your brainpower....

What would you say a theatre showgirl would be called on the 1911 census?

Dancer, artiste, theatrical performer, theatrical, actress, terpsichorean

Well, I might have guessed Jonesey would know!


You're up late dear man :-P


I'm orf to beddy byes. Night night all.

Terpsichore... a relative of mine... one of the nine muses, it is so lovely you thought of her Jonesey.... She was the lyrical one of the family. I will mention this to dear old uncle Pythagoras when I next see him.

Persephone I will be back shortly with breakfast... ;-)

Grecian Brekkie

There are:

Breakfast Pita Sandwiches: 2 eggs, feta cheese, onions, tomatoes and your choice of bacon, sausages or mince pattie or calamari.

Various Pastries: Spanakopita, or tyropita, or bougatsa... these are lovely accompanied with Greek coffee which is cooking away in the Briki.

Breads: Easter Bread, Olive Bread, Cheese Bread and Fried bread with mitzithra cheese. There is honey, marmalade and nutella cream or merenda to spread on plain bread.

Baklava rolls, Batter puffs with honey and cinnamon, honey and sesame fritters

There is also a plate of Greek Delight (same as Turkish)

Pomegranate Juice or Apple juice.

Also Hot chocolate and tea and apple tea.


Persie

Oh Persie,

You 'have' gone to a lot of trouble - this is a lovely breakfast, and very different <3

I don't know where to start..............

I think a bit of everything (except the Calamari) - I will work through it in order. I think it will take me quite a while :-D

See you later,

Persie,

Your breakfast menu reminded me of a visit to Cyprus. My wife and I were invited into the home of a Greek Cypriot who asked us if we would like some Greek Delight. Being of a suspicious nature and just a little wary I enquired what exactly was Greek Delight. He replied that it was the same as Turkish Delight, adding "But we don't get on with the Turks".

The Grammar school that I went to had four school houses, Greek's, Olympian's, Spartan's and Trojan's. I was a member of the Greek's.

P.S. I encountered your uncle Pythagoras on many occasions during my stay.

It is rather amusing...

What's in a name eh?

I have a friend that is Turkish and come poppy time he purchases one but not without the comments that he was on the other side. He wasn't born then but his ancestors did take part. He runs a restaurant here... they have Turkish delight.

Persie

The same applies to Greek coffee, it's just as gritty as Turkish coffee, strange that! ;-)

Hang on there a cotton pickin minute.....am I back home

OOerrr Ginns !!

Are you back ?? - You must have got it all sorted then?

Let's hope he doesn't escape again today :-D

See you later,

Welcome home so glad you didn't have to change to a fluffy joke.... here have a piece of Greek Delight and a gritty coffee ;-)

I was beginning to think with all the posts on facebook Ginny R had become her own GR.....site.

Persie :-) :-) :-) and I am :-0 ed at what you had to go through... someone else may not have been so stoic.

Ooops she is back.

Better tidy the place up again.

So nice to see you back.
