[netibiza]

He has absolutely no idea what is wrong with my eye/nose. Have to wait now for appointment to see specialist. Could take months.

[netibiza]

Been busy..I've changed all the bedding to winter black and white. Had to pin round another valance and change the pictures and curtains. I had the energy today do went for it. Also cleaned under the bed! Done loaf's of ironing but still more to be done. Made cottage pie and have out a bit of coffee in it as a certified on TV. We'll see what it's like.

[netibiza]

What rubbish.
Certified on TV? ? Who writes this stuff? ? As seen on TV.

[netibiza]

Loaf's of ironing?? Hahaha I live in a different world!!

[Robinia]

lol.... I'll send little man Moondust over to you neti, you'll understand each other perfectly.

[netibiza]

Yes Robi I rather think we'd get on well.

[netibiza]

Right. Tinitus.
Imagine being on a train and looking out of the window and seeing hills and hills of mashed potato rolling by with a light droning sound. That's it.

[woofgang]

oh. The midlands then ha ha

[Robinia]

not sure about a train but thinks neti's on a trip alright


I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
Where music played ever so loudly

[Robinia]

Haha, if it was the midlands there'd be the gentle lapping of gravy.

[shaneystar2]

[woofgang]

Well, I had a busy morning taking the car for its MOT, busy evening going to a lecture on the king in the car park (very interesting, the speaker was an archaeologist/genealogist/skeletonologist or something and worked on the dig, and he even got me understanding mitochondrial DNA for a minute or two).

In between, I just sat around.

[Robinia]

Morning...another glorious one here in paradise...not.
It's the dark days making us all doolally jno.

What to do today?....ah, I see there's a mounting pile in my ironing baguette.

cackle

[netibiza]

Good moaning.
Just had a row in the bank with some woman. She barged in. It was one q dividing into 2 as one neared the desks. One said exclusively for clients. But you can use any q
Just as she was waiting to go up.I walked in front of her as I was first, she was incandescent with rage but I said I was before her. She muttered and muttered, I said ignorant and did my thing.

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
Miserable dull drizzly day.
That sounds very interesting Jno .I remember watching various docus on TV about it.I could not ,however,stand that awful woman from the Richard 111 society.She got on my nerves and I bet she got on the archaeologists nerves too:)
Hope you're all ok .
You tell 'em Neti !

[woofgang]

we are getting squalls roll over and Shughy needs to be told its all ok so don't expect to get much done today again sigh.

shaney, they were delighted with her, they all say it would never have happened without her.

I didn't realise how lucky it all was. They knew from old maps where the friary grounds were (the streets haven't changed) but not where the church was. They had only been given two weeks, so it was like Time Team. They actually found the skeleton instantly but didn't dig it up so didn't notice the warped spine or anything - there could have been hundreds of skeletons there over the centuries and they couldn't waste time on individual ones. It wasn't till a few days later they located signs of where the church itself was, then realised the skeleton was inside it in roughly the right spot, so they went back and excavated it.

But they'd never expected to find it. They thought they had a good chance of finding friary walls but didn't even think they'd find the church let alone the skeleton.

The funny thing was the illegitimacy they discovered. It didn't affect Richard's descent, but depending when it happened (they're still working on this) it might have meant York or Lancaster or both had no claim to the throne at all, and maybe that the Tudors didn't either.

They also found a much more recent one, only one or two generations ago by the sound of it and went to tell the man involved (duke of Somerset's family, I think - we weren't told his name). Apparently he didn't say anything at all but his mother said "AHA! That explains it!", which they took to mean they'd got it right.
