We had fairly normal start to the day, with Urban-Cub dropping Ellie off before 7:30. Ellie was in a great mood and gobbled down her breakfast before going up to get washed and dressed. Once everything was done, the clock had ticked by, and we were all wrapped up against the frosty morning, we dropped her round at school.
Back home, caffeinated and breakfasted, we got on with some chores. The Gorse Fox caught up on the accounts, did some vacuuming, and then popped round to B&Q. After the debacle of the broken table lamp, a new one had been delivered. This was a touch sensitive light and when the Gorse Fox inserted the old bulb, it just flashed on and off. It took a moment or two to work out what was wrong - these touch lights have several brightness settings. This implies that they need to be dimmable bulbs. The old one wasn't. New bulb was purchased - the last but one dimmable bayonet-style bulb in the store - brought home and fitted. Voila! It works.
After lunch the Gorse Fox started clambering around in the outer reaches of the Silver Vixen's part of the family tree. Some concerted searching and cross-referencing across several sites allowed him to drive another section of her family back to her 5th great grandfather (born around 1730). The Gorse Fox thinks he can be more precise about the date, but is still searching for a register which will confirm his assumption.
