TRADITON

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race has been won by the mighty Oxford crew. There is always next year Cambridge - 151 years of tradition - magnificient work by both crews.

spending time at home

I have been at home now for four weeks, following an operation. I have found that despite thinking I could snap to it and get on - only key hole surgery afterall, I haven't been able to. I have done some work on my PhD, played with the blog (ie trying to learn how to do things) and played with our new puppy ( nine month old Merlot - who joined us before Cindy died) I have not felt any energy to run around and shop till I drop (not that I have the money to shop of course)

I have been looking forward to retirement in four years, but now I don't know. I want to do so much when I retire, teach history - travel - go to the theater but does some button go off in your head which says 'hey your old'

Enough of feeling sorry for myself.

Does any body out there know about the following persons -

• Nellie Trew (murder victim 1918) David Greenwood (convicted of the Murder)
• Dingri Singh (Palmer) (served in french army? during World War One but lived in Eltham UK)

These are other research topics of mine. Granny

A VERY SAD DAY

Today, Tuesday I have had to say goodbye to my beloved pet of 13 years and a rescue, West Highland Terrier "Cindy Sugar Sweet" she was 14 years old. She collapsed and died in my husband's arms at approximately 11am as we rushed her to the vets. She was my good and faithful friend and I shall miss her - but she is not in pain and she has joined her long time partner and friend 'Bacchus' the Rodeshian Ridgeback who she mourned inconsolably. Never let it be said "they are just animals" I will miss their presence in the house. Granny
