Huzzah!

And just like that the snow is all gone! It rained during the night and the temperature has risen, and when James and I went out for a walk along to Burnside this morning there was no snow left at all. It wasn’t even cold. 

After lunch we worked on Grandma and Grandpa’s photos and again made good progress. We have selected all of the photos that we want to keep and we now need to consult with James’ Uncle William to try to identify some of the early Andersons from the 1910s, 20s and 30s, and his cousin Andrew Eadie to help us identify some of the early Larkhall Eadies and Forrests (Grandma’s family). So we still have a bit to do, but so far so good.

The Rangers match started at 3 p.m. and was enthusiastically watched by Ally, Cat and James. We have continued watching “The Serpent” this evening, and also the second episode of “The Great”, a lighthearted and historically dubious version of the story of Catherine the Great. Her allegedly idiotic husband’s favourite exclamation is “Huzzah!” which James has been saying all week!
