Back to the Companion Charting Book

Yesterday was work on the Companion Charting Book. I went back to the beginning and filled in the Preface and the Acknowledgements adding some pictures of my line coming down from Elizabeth (Siderfin) Rew with her daughter Elizabeth (Rew) Pincombe and John Pincombe, her son William Robert Pincombe and Grace (Gray) Pincombe, his son John Routledge Pincombe and Ellen Rosina (Buller) Pincombe and my mother, their daughter, Helen Louise (Pincombe) Blake. 

I then started back at the beginning and will now do the indexing and reading of everything there once again. I will then at the end go back and proofread it once again before I publish it. I decided one set of charts was just too small so redid them. That will part of this as I got much stricter with myself as the book moved on so some at the beginning may need to be redone. Not finding many changes which is good but will be cautious. I want to finish this and have it off my plate so that I can get back to the Blake and Pincombe books. 

Other than that exercise although still feeling somewhat the effects of the flu shot (managed to get one at the Drug Store last Sunday) as it multiplies through my system. It was the 65+ shot that is stronger apparently for us ancients! I haven't had flu in many many years as I had the flu shot at the hospital all the time that I worked there and ever since actually. I tend to wear a face mask in the winter when I am shopping since COVID as why not it is easy to do. But I was never a cold prone person anyway. Watched a little television with all the excitement still ongoing from the election in our neighbour to the south. The House of Commons seems to be in a stalemate which I find annoying as they make a lot of money at our expense and should be governing the country in an efficient manner not always sucking up to one part of the populace or another by random benefits. The Conservative party needs to find its roots and they are in efficiency; I think people in politics have lost their way. They go in thinking they always have to be in power but sometimes the most effective place is in opposition to curb the wastefulness of left leaning parties. 

On to Latin and then the book.
