Morning splash-- Mallard ty Looks to be a wet mess outside this morning--at least I hope it just rain. We are at mins 1 and like I say looks like the heavy rain and now we have heavy snow forecast, I have my hair cut at home--my neighbour who sadly passed away at one time then I was lucky Jessicas girlfriend did it when she came to visit but seen as Jess is away at her boyfriend don't think anyone will be visiting here. Last resort I do have hair sissors or will find a wasy tooe the hair clips and get it anchored down.I am glad you can get to enjoy your gardens--afraid it will be almost another month at this rate for us. With my pills there is only so many refills unless the doctor renews it but I seem to be getting quite a collection to take( 7 first thin every morning) Have a good day and take it easy.

Hello Ed, I believe that the Butson family came here under their own steam.  Mum's family, the Stearns were convicts as I have told you. I don't think that the Moore family were but my Great Grandmother married into the Stearn family. It will be interesting to find out how and why the Paull family came here. I will have to too a deep dive into ancestry to learn about that. Once everything settles down re. Mum I will do that. Now I am off to bed to read for a it and then hopefully sleep. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, I worked at the Op shop this afternon. Nearly didn't as I am tired. Happy that I did. Mum told me that Dad knew about the German and French connections through the Paull name. The ancient Roman connection of Paul comes from the French De Paul meaning of Paul and could also mean of Saul? Mum's maiden name is Butson and after just a quick look at my cousin's family tree a few moments ago the Butson family came from Kent and Devonshire. Mum's maternal family Moore and Stearn can be traced back to the 17 hundreds. That is another story. Enjoy your day.

Good morning splash-- It is 0 and cloudy here but in the next couple of day it could be a mix of everything. Much as I need to get a hair cut I will stay in as I don't need to go out in weather that is not king to me. Sounds like you are getting a full time job-- and the pills are very important as is any appointments. I hope the pills were not for something important or you are going to be trotting her to a doctor. Tea did go well yesterday and we all have a few good laughs. I do have a few things to do this morning  then the afternoon is hopefully golf and some decent  stuff. I guess its easier to get weeds out now while the soil is still soft. Everyone around us used to dig out the dandilions from the lawn but never did,just mowed over then and at least we had a green lawn come mid summer and it was kinda a wasted effort as the dandilions grew on the side of the road and all the fields so there was lots of seed transfers floating in the air. Have a good day and don't work too hard.

Hello Ed, TY for the mouse. Home again after visiting Mum. She has swollen ankles today so she had to be in bed with her feet propped up. It seems that she is retaining fluid. This morning she phoned me and asked if I could bring a Manicure set to her which I did. It is fortunate that I had doubles of everything that she needed after reducing 2 houses to 1. Re. Sandra and her pills. Perhaps you need to take control over them. When Brian needed lots of pills the doctor arranged for a local chemist to keep his scripts and they gave me a weekly container with the pills placed in little compartments for morning, noon and night. Clearly labelled. Once a week I would go to the chemist and return the box and the following week's box was ready for me. All I had to do was ensure that he had taken them. I am fairly sure that you could purchase a container like that for Sandra and you take control of her prescriptions and therefore no surprises and rushed visits to a chemist. Chemists do sell them. Dad also had one. I told Mum about the Village named Paull in Yorkshire and she was surprised. Also told her that you had found connections with the Paull name in Germany and France. Mum said that Dad had told her that but didn't know anything more other than than there was a Coat of Arms. I think that I saw it on the information of the Village of Paull when I googled it yesterday. Enjoy your new day.
