The best thing about having an empty nest is having a tidy house, followed by not being required for the 8am Saturday driving tasks. Which lead to long lie-ins. Much needed after a busy week.

Just about recovering from Open House at the Annunciation Marble Arch. We had over 100 people visit on the Saturday and 66 for the deaf lead talk by Michael Woods on conquering Everest on the Friday night.

Fabulous to be at the official opening of the Football Museum of Wales /Wrexham Museum today. The team have worked so hard to bring their ideas and principles to reality. And the outcome is just wonderful. So many voices of local people throughout.

Local government archivists, I feel your pain today as reorganisation plans are ripped up. I shall say no more, but should I share the emergency cake in a mug recipe again?

This is exactly the type of case that makes me think we’ve got it wrong by not using the commercial DNA databases for some criminal cases, despite the privacy issues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The first English woman to leave a million £ estate in 1903, left a total of £2000 to charitable organisations. She didn’t even name them, she left her executors to decide. A bit of a contrast to my subject who died the year before, leaving £600k+ via mainly to charities. My mind is boggling.

The Annunciation Church Marble Arch will have a special open day for London Open House on 19th September. We will have a Deaf-led tour, a BSL interpreted tour, vestments exhibition and drop in activities. Book a tour or just plan to drop in. We’d love to see you. #Deaf #Deafcommunity #BSL

So I treated myself to following a little rabbit hole of research today. Leading me to find out that in Das Kapital, Marx quoted parliamentary evidence presented by one of the people I am currently researching. I didn’t see that tie-up coming.

Liverpool is one big roadwork at the moment so I allowed 3/4 hour for a 15 minute journey. It was 15 minutes. We all know what would have happened if I’d left later though, right?

Beautiful views as I travelled up to Edinburgh today for the celebration of the re-opening of the Kings Theatre, supported by Heritage Lottery Fund. There aren’t many projects I’d give up my wknd & self-fund a trip here in August, but after 7 years involved in this project I wasn’t missing this!
