Our Weekly Journal 30th Jan 2017

We had fog, and more fog. In fact I can't remember ever having fog that lasted all day in Cardiff. Up in the mountains yes, or maybe when there was smog. Fog usually clears by mid day but this week it lingered so I thought it would be fun to go out and play in it.

#MySundayPhoto Number 5

#MySundayPhoto Number 5 this week was taken at Tredegar House and Park. It was a freezing cold day and very, very foggy. We were all suffering from cabin fever so decided to venture out. 

It was definitely worth it. Even though it was bitterly cold, the fog added a sense of mystery and Bear had fun cycling through the puddles, well until I went to take off his scarf and he lost his balance and fell into the mud! He wasn't happy to have wet legs.

Thoughts On Saturday - Gina Miller and Trump

Thoughts On Saturday - Gina Miller and Trump

I watched Question Time this week for the first time in ages. I smiled when David Dimbleby said that a viewer had asked for the questions to be anything other than Brexit or Trump. A woman after my own heart. I had stopped watching it as I was totally fed up with everything being about Brexit. Don't get me wrong, if there was any real news then that would be OK but just the same old points being made again and again in the same old way.

Free Relationship Chart For Genealogists

Free Relationship Chart For Genealogists

If you are confused by cousins, second cousins, once, twice or more removed then you need a relationship chart. It is quite simple when you see it in a chart. If you are both grandchildren of the same ancestor then your relationship is first cousins, if the ancestor is a shared great grandfather then you are second cousins and so on.
If there is a generation between you then you are x cousins once removed. If there are two generations then three times removed and so on. 

Slimming World weigh in #3 and Best Recipe Of The Week

Slimming World weigh in #3 and Best Recipe Of The Week

This week I have only had one meal out. That was lunch at Jamie Olivers and I chose the Classic Super Food salad. Most of the meals looked like they would be drenched in oil and the only other option was chicken, served with chips or Caeser salad but I suspected the dressing would be creamy. My salad was delicious, I added grilled chicken and removed the skin so that was free. When I neared the end of the meal there was some olive oil so I left the veg and beans that were in it. I think I am slowly getting to grips with the detail of Slimming World but when I got home and checked the Syns it came out at a massive 15, for a salad! I realise now that the half an avocado is 7 syns, I would have left it if I had known. I did leave a lot but I am still adding the 15.
