Me and my memory...


It's the same old story - I don't do this blog for a while, then I completely forget how to get into it and where to file the photos, etc. It has probably taken 20 minutes for me to get this far today.

Time is flying and I seem to be always bogged down by day-to-day chores and depressed by world happenings. I do a lot of sleeping, hundreds of online jigsaws and - spasmodically - a bit of ancestry. Recently I've dug up a couple of second cousins and spoken to a first cousin on the phone. Not surprisingly, nobody knew about my grandmother and the Jewish dentist. It was a real skeleton in the closet! Today's plan is to get some order into the hundreds of pages I've printed, the dozens of pages of notes I've made, and stuff I've come across in research. To be honest, I have been putting this off for months because I'm in such a muddle.

This term I'm teaching French at Hugo's preschool, which is really enjoyable. Little kids are so cute.

I took the above photo on Saturday at the Japanese School. Emma - the tallest girl, in front of the teacher - is in a Cheer Leaders Group. They gave a really lovely performance.

As you know, I don't generally put photos of people on my blog, but as this was a public performance I thought it would be OK.
