Sunday and I wake to a sunny day and my partner reading. After a bit of time I get up and warm drinks. After breakfast and the morning meds my partner and I wander into the village to look at the VE day celebrations. There were several displays of various aspects of 40’s life.

After much wanderings my partner and I return home where we have a late lunch and I rest by watching a football match. With the match at an end I return to drafting my partners family tree. During this time my laptop is trying to repair itself, a long and tedious process, which I doubt will be successful. As I work through the information that I have on the family tree I get a message from a friend that her daughter has completed her “muddy run” for charity in support of Cancer research. She had put my name on her bib as supporting someone she knows has cancer. I am very touched by the thoughtfulness. It is a complete surprise. I continue to fill out the family tree until I finally get to the point of where I run out of data and all that I can do is literally draw the connecting lines in. By then its time for tea and the family eat together.

I slide into the evening popping into to see how my laptop is doing but the screen is not changing so while Black Snow is running in the background I start to draft the blog. It is soon time to take my night meds, strap on my finger splint and try to get a nights sleep.
