The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

No family tree updates for a little while, though I'm off to investigate The Grants of Winterbourne Stoke again in case I missed anything before, one of my great great great grandfathers is there. In the mean time, here's a smashing super rare copy o...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

Fry!

Always nice to see Stephen Fry on TV, the wife especially loves him. Interesting show about bipolarity too, I assume it's a series, and that all the normal working class people with depression who are not millionaires on cocaine will be featured in f...

Excitement for this week:

Hmm, so far not much. I am mostly pinning my hopes on one job offer that I'm expecting to hear back from any minute now. It's a really good fit for my skills and experience, I only hope I don't get "gazumped" by someone offering to do the job for hal...

Original Harry Clarke artwork

I was just browsing ABE Books for Harry Clarke, as I knew they had some signed first editions and things, albeit at high prices. So what's the most expensive thing on there I wondered? Only this original water colour of The Emperor's New Clothes, thi...

Where did summer go?

Baby baby, where did our weekend go?

Aciton packed weekend, yet again quite literally TWO daytime trips out of the house that were not just to the shop or the pub, what is going on? We had such a full weekend that I had just about no time for larking about on the computer or even sittin...

She's about as Irish as I am

Clare's a Mahon, her dad is Irish, he's got the accent and everything. His great uncle is famed Irish artist Harry Clarke, that surname is just coincidence though, no relation to me (apart from now by marriage). Future generations of genealogists are...

Bridget Clarke Bridget Clarke Bridget Clarke!

My wife's grandmother is Bridget Clarke, no blood relation to me (I am Paul Clarke), the names are just a coincidence. So, sorry Bridget, you are not the only Bridget Clarke in the world, I'm afraid it's a very common name......
