Up bright and early and breakfasted on a deelishus slice of granary toast and grilled bacon washed down with a glass of milk. I’ve started grilling the bacon just because it is easier although you do then need to clean out the grill pan (occasionally!).
It is an overcast day and I have a few jobs lined up that include doing some campervan related stuff, mowing the lawn (we can still just about call it that) and some admin. I’ll also be heading to the pool at around eleven. The optimum time to get in the water seems to be around eleven thirty.
We have had notification from the council that Yarborough is reopening in August under new management. However the jury is out on that one. At Total Fitness the pool does not need booking which is not the case at Yarborough plus we punters have to fit around school swimming times. On the plus side it is only a mile or so away cf six miles. I’m gonna wait until the new school term starts and look at the timetables before deciding. Can’t see meself moving back. The facilities are a lot better at TF.
In the meantime I read this morning in Tir Yr Abad (D.G. Lloyd Hughes 1996) that the main inheritor of a Welsh estate used by convention to be the youngest son or the youngest daughter if there were no sons. Interesting. There was a time where the estate was divvied up equally but I think that changed when the Welsh were conquered by the accursed English, at least in law if not in common practice. I would like to validate this but will also take a look at what happened in my own family. The problem is I don’t have birth years for some ancestors as we go back into the dim and distant past (before 1961). The reason we have the death years is because they left wills. I’ll let you know if I find owt obvs.
