Looking back, cooking and gay's the word in blackpropaganda

For a change I am writing this at 7 pm on a Saturday - SW… has gone out to a golf dinner and I have the evening to myself. The Eurovision Song Contest beckons - not!
Normally when she goes out like this I get a fish supper from the chippy and indulge myself - but I fancied something different, and so while I write, my bolognese sauce is simmering gently - and in ten minutes or so I shall put on the pasta.
In fact she has been out most of the day - golfing until after lunch - and the having a rest this afternoon while I got on with other things. So instead of a discussion about we should do - I did my own thing. No, not celebrate Masturbation Month but go to the Library!
I realised that you can use a genealogical site - Ancestry - free in the library - and I found some work I did on my forefathers and mothers when my own mother was alive.
So I spent a great 90 minutes exploring census returns -and found out that it is likely that my great-great-grandfather might have been born out of wedlock. Just a hunch - like I know when and where he was born but there is no record of the birth - and his original surname was his mother’s. I was well prepared - no paper and no pen - so I had to borrow both from the librarian - some historian!
When elder son rang later - looking for money - he got quite excited about my work - not least because his son has one of the names of my gggf. I shall get more organised - and spend more time there - a nice way of doing my own thing!!!

The pasta has just gone in the water. I have a large glass of red wine which was left over from yesterday evening when we had another Tesco Meal for two for ten pounds - this time Beef in Rioja, Wedges and cheesecake sweet with a bottle of Sicilian wine - altogether they should cost £18 - the wine is £7 on its own.

As for the Song Contest - I shall watch it with a cynical eye - and just tell me this - if it is Eurovision why are there Australians singing???

One more thing - well done Ireland - large majority in the referendum to approve of same sex marriage - amazing given the role the RC Church had there - the first country in the world to do it by popular vote. hey, it means all those gay Irish barmen in London can go home!!! Maybe they did to vote.

Mine’s a pint of Guinness
