Last week was crazy busy for various reasons, so I didn't manage to post anything here. It began with smallest daughter's First Communion and included three evenings in a row when I got home from work and had to go straight out again. Work is constantly busy - I love what I do, but we are very understaffed and it is pretty full on with no prospect of it getting easier in the short term. On the positive side I am working on a project to blog the local experience of the First World War, posting daily entries exactly one hundred years after the events they describe. I am working ahead so that I will have a few months done before it goes live in August. I have been interested in the Great War since I watched the BBC's adaptation of Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth as a teenager, so I'm thoroughly enjoying the chance to dig deeper.
I was going to write more, but got kind of distracted by a bottle of Rekorderlig peach and apricot cider. The cider was very nice but has left me feeling too sleepy to have any coherent thoughts!
CRAZY PAVING: "A form of paving, as for a path, made of slabs of stone of irregular shape fitted together."

The work blog sounds so interesting! I'll be looking forward to reading it.
Will this be a blog we can read?! Oh. I hope so!
This is our favourite cider bought when on special deals at Waitrose. Ian and I find one bottle shared is enough for us with our evening meal, even half a bottle makes me sleepy.
Was there an edict from on high that all local archives should have a programme marking WW1? I know the staff at our local one spent hours going through the minutes of the constituent councils to discover the impact upon the civilian population at the time.
