Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'





Thank heavens THAT is behind me.  For about 36 more hours, that is.  And a Happy St.George's Day to all - and Shakespeare's birthday, and World Book Day.

Happily, I managed to snag an invite to a roast beef and Yorkshire pudding dinner chez M&P, so that was the perfect way to end this 7-day slog and celebrate the day in an appropriate fashion.

There is absolutely nothing of a genealogical nature to report this evening, as I am too cross-eyed to sit in front of a computer screen for much longer in order to do any research.  My greatest wish at the moment is to return to that old technology, the book, and see if I can pick up where I left off with Dombey and Son a few weeks ago.  I have set myself the task of reading the full Dickens' canon in this, his bicentenary year, but haven't progressed much in the last month.  It may end up taking more than a year.
