Morning Rita
Back from my walk, slower this morning, must be hotter.

Have just watered the pots at the front porch as it is shaded there in the morning.

I was lucky to find 12 census yesterday connected to my family. Just as well as we will not have that offer again, since we are out of the World Cup. Shame.

Yes I must put some washing on as it so good and dries quickly.

Have a good day all who wander through and read this. Take care.

Linda :o) XxX

Goodness I pressed a button and thought I'd lost this so glad I didn't

Morning all
Think everyone is back onboard again so I've made some drinks before I go for my walk

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? {_}? [_]

The garden is looking good at the moemnt but could really do with some rainwater, seems to perk it up somehow.

Did all the ironing yesterday and managed a lot of research. Not much else.

Be back later.

yes Pauline you can go on to Findmypast from when the football started till tomorrow morning.
I am having an email converstion with one of the people on the Willesden Family History Society site. he is full of knowlege of Willesden. he knows nearly everything about the old buildings and grounds. he said I was right the mound in the cemetery has been put on top of the very old graves so they can use that for more buriels. The Names of the people in the very old graves are registered in a book in the cemetery so that I am pleased about. it is hard to find a grave that no longer excists and it takes hours to search them all out.
There are five war graves now dotted about with the war graves markings and it gives the regiment along with the name of the person. these have been put up recently. i have tired to take some of their names with my camera but I forgot to alter the zoom so I am not sure they will show up.

Shelley if someone asked you about the" Old Willsden cemetery" you can tell them it is now the" New Willesden cemetery "and they have a website. just incase someone asks you as you have your Graves sThread.

time for a long cool drink now.
see you later

Hi All

Did get a few of my more obscure 1911 census before I had a couple of phone calls.
First my sister just for a general chat.

Then my cousin in Canada................. bad news unfortunately. Her brother my cousin, the 4th child in the family. Passed away suddenly last night in Toronto. He was only 53 and it was a heart attack. It was not the one we thought would be taken next. His Dad 82 has kidney failure and now weighs about 4 stone and the younger cousin is the one who has had treatment for jaw cancer.

Oh dear and I have to tell my husband when he gets in. We were both very fond of him even if we didn't get together very often

Rita,

Dont go on FMP while the footsie's on because its jammed packed .
You could go on it from 9am this morning until the Football game has finished .

Hello everyone else !!

I have done loads on FMP this morning , so that's why I didn't clock on early.

Off out soon for a BBQ.

Where's RED LOBSTER Shelly today.......suffering I expect .. cant laugh can we .....

Morning Mo Pauline and Rita
All up early on this beautiful morning. We need rain in the south Pauline so your overnight stuff would be very welcome.
Have watered the pots in the front porch while it is still cool and shaded. Did all the back garden pots yesterday evening.
Have done my walk.................. cut 2 mins off yesterdays time. So pleased with that. Have to go early or it would be too hot.

Will check the 1911 when I have had a shower, probably get hot again

Catch you all later
