Hi all
xx

1 week progress report .......

Things are gradually improving.

I still have an untold number of staples in an incredibly long incision, and a drain. Hopefully, the drain will be removed on Thursday, and then I can have a SHOWER on Friday :-D

If not, then I will have to wait until Monday ......... and have the first celebratory shower on Tuesday

I have made an appointment with my hairdresser for this afternoon to get my hair WASHED. Oh JOY! :-)

I still have to keep my left arm close against my body, to provide some support ................. and also as a reminder NOT to make many movements!

BUT ... I can now move my left forearm and hand with more ease and without causing too much discomfort, so I can ....................... now type with 3 fingers .......... one of which is on my left hand!

I went out yesterday for the first time ...... for afternoon coffee. The coffee shop owners gave me a free latte. as a welcome back.

This has not been the most enjoyable time, but we're getting there!

Thank you everyone for your support, and good wishes.

Cyns has had me in stitches on FB

IIm still laughing and crying....I cant help not remembering things from before I was born!

Yeh R

I have just worked out that they are different people !!

Dea Xxx

Ballymoney (where I spent many an hour) is about 40 km north of Ballymena

R

The only extra I can see is that he was born in Ballymoney!

Is that a different place to Ballymena??

What about the times tables. 16 ones are 16, 16 twos are 32, 16 threes are 48 etc. don't think the kids today would be capable of any of this.

The picture of Landhead at calhame.ca was when I was 9 .... blond kid back row 3rd head from right, brother 3rd boy from left in back row.

The picture is of entire school

R

Just as I thought ... it was an email for Family Tree Maker with Tree Sync as I have registered with ancestry.co.uk. The one service record I would like would be my great uncle


Private ALEXANDER HILL
16448, 8th Bn., Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
died age 23 16 August 1917

I have all CWGC info but was wondering what service records were available

Thanks

R

I remember that too - it was all listed out on the back of the red exersise book that you had to do all your work in !! :-D :-D

OOOhhh - We must all be 'of an age' :-|

Dea Xxx

Cyns just brought back memories of the 2 room school I attended (picture at calhame.ca) where all manner of things were drilled into my head.

12 inches 1 foot, 3 feet 1 yard, 5 1/2 yards 1 perch, 40 perches 1 furlong, 8 furlongs 1 mile. We all had to memorize and recite this many times.

Thanks for the memories.

R

I don't really think that Ancestry can give you much help on Irish records R

I don't understand when you say they ofered 'FTM' ??? for ................

You CAN get certain ww1 service records certainly but you can ask us on here for these!

If it is Irish records you really need, I am not sure it is worth it !!

Perhaps others can advise?

Dea Xxx

A question for all the wise and wonderful people .... just got an email from Ancestry offering me FTM for 42.89 with a 6 month free premium

Majority of family come from Northern Ireland.

Many of Irish records have been destroyed and I need 1800's and prior info.

I have some family members who died in WWI and the blurb on Ancestry indicates military service records can be obtained.

Questions ...... What Irish records can I get that are not available on FSO and what service records can I get. And the biggest Q is it worth it

R

and you need to sort out your rods, poles and perches. Not to mention bushels and pecks!!


Numpty!

Thank you Dea....I do get quite attached to my students (not all)

And Cyns you are in line for a big slap :-P
