Has been a very long (12 hour) day at work but feel like I got a good few things off the to-do list so at least it was productive.
It was a busy weekend in London too. Travelled out to deepest, darkest Essex on Friday night after work to see the Conachers. Matt and Hannah are very, very special to me. I lived with them for a few months a couple of years ago and they took me right into their little flat, no qestions asked and lots of shoulders offered. They moved out to Essex a few months ago to start their new family life with Hannah working for her family business and I really miss them not being round the corner. But there's no point in whinging so we're doing our best to see each other as much as we can and we had a really nice evening watching the first Strictly, brilliant!
Saturday it was home bright and early for the builders to come round and sort out the back door, waiting for the plasterer to come round but its on its way. Then out in the pouring rain to Kirstens for a take away and X-factor, perfect!
Sunday I went over to see Grandma and Grandpa for some lunch with Mum and Dad and then we spent a very happy hour looking through some treasure...
A box full of Grandpas family documents. Mainly his father and uncles war documents...medals, medical docs, school papers and poems they had written! Priceless!
A blood pressure chart from the hospital when Wilfred (Grandpas uncle) went in to have some shrapnel removed from his shoulder (seemingly two years after it went into his shoulder!).
The announcement in the paper of grandpa's grandfather's wedding.
The documents start coming together with some pictures. 
A few documents and some very special medals gathered together for a very secret upcoming project :o) More on that to come.Have a good week
