	Evening everyone. Linda, I'm so sorry to hear your awful news, that's so sad. I'll be saying a prayer for you and both your parents as well. I hope your parents can go into the same home so they can spend as much time together as possible.

	Hello everyone Rita, I watched Downton Abbey on Sunday, It was so sad at the end, I was sitting there with a box of tissues on my lap. Marilyn I didn't send of for the cert straight away, I didn't have any spare cash, it would be great if you could have another look. robert was born around 1799-1801 in Leeds, Kent, (comes under Hollingbourne), he married in 1822 to Sophia Mills, he's in the 1851 census but after that I can't find him. Sophia is listed as a Widow in 1861 living with her daughter, son and his wife in Leeds, Kent. On Ancestry some people have got his death as 1872 but the age is totally out. There is a Robert Hayes in Canterbury with a different wife, perhaps he left Sophia for another woman but I think it's unlikely. Linda sending ((hugs ))) to you <3

	Evening all. I have been watching Tv this evening. I have had a laugh I was watching Holby City (Hospital in case you dont know ) Mr Hanssen who runs the hospital was trying to attend to a black boy who was very ill. He said to someone who was helping .him . "we are losing him, and if we lose him he will die "can you beleive it.? I wonder if someone will pick that up for "Points of View " on a sunday. I often find I pick up wrong remarks on some if these shows. sorry your not that well Cath hope your feel betting in the morning. it has got very cold out., I had to shut all my windows but I will open the bedroom one when I go to bed at 10. George my husband gather tools during his working life and we had a big double garage in Norfolk two great big benches and he use to moan he had no room to put new tools he would buy, he would not get rid of any incase he needed them when he died I gave all his power tools to the boys and my son in law I then gave two barrow loads to a friend who was a fireman.he was always doing jobs. the garage also contained two canoes and half a dozen surfboards.. Rita

	Just popping in to say goodnight. Been out for a meal with my daughter and her partner tonight. Great company, lovely food and wine but came home early as I'm feeling a bit rough. Got a sore throat starting and a headache, sniffles etc. Typical, first day back at work today so don't feel like I can phone in sick tomorrow. Hot toddy and an early night and hope I feel better in the morning. Pat I hope you are on the mend and can enjoy your trip to Paris at the weekend. Sweet dreams my friends, <3 <3 Cath xx
