Ode to Joy ~ Beaker style

Brilliant! haha! ;D

Red Nose Day ~ the Aftermath

I managed to finish my sponsored cycle event in just over 3 hours. Most of the time was taken up by trying to find the parts of the THAMES PATH which believe it or not are now being occupied with private property! Crazy really. Anyway thankfully I made it to the finish line, (without too many aches and pains) which so happened to be inside the Greenwich foot tunnel which felt quite eerie when at one point I was the only person in there with the sounds of dripping water (no Zombies thank god) and the mechanisms of the lift at the far end. I'm really pleased that I've achieved this quest for charity. I've seen some amazing scenery along the way, especially on the south bank of the Thames. Like the Rotherhide village and Pageant Wharf. Wonderful stuff.

Here's a couple of unusual pix I took...

The spooky looking Greenwich foot tunnel

My next charity event will probably be in August when I'm going to take part in a very spooky vigil in Manchester (with possible media interest) along with my fellow 'Ghostie Crew' members who are a group that are attached to the Pathfinder Guide Dogs charity. As well as many other things, we are also paranormal investigaters. And we often do other charity events to raise money as well.

My Family Research Mystery Deepens

I've been doing my family history for many many years. And having investigated most of my branches up to a point, I'm now kind of stuck. I don't seem to understand how to use Parish Registers. It's like being asked to read a passage of Latin, it just makes no sense. I know I will at some point have to drag my *** down to the National Archives here in London and ask them. One family line in particular there's a family mystery and a bit of scandal which involves some wealthy Freemason ancestors, secret families, some disinheriting, and resulted with one of my great grandmothers killing herself when her child was removed from her by in-laws. The plot could be something straight out of a Catherine Cookson story. Maybe I should write a book about it. Just need to do a bit more investigating first. The TV Genealogist Nick Barratt gave me some good advice so I will try his suggestions, and kick start my quest for the truth. I owe it to my genes.

The Dog, The Cat...and The Rat

∗ This has got to be one of the most adorable videos I've seen in a long time ∗

This is a video of a homeless man in Santa Barbara, California USA and his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them rigged up a harness for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and as no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and, often, on the cat! The dog, will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a holiday card.
