I did enjoy the Church Service on YouTube from Cornwall, England yesterday. Seeing the green grass is always a treat there although our snow is starting to melt here and we did not go skiing yesterday as it rained most of the day.
I did accomplish a little on the matches but also spent some time thinking about the re-phasing of my grandparent's and great grandparent's DNA based on five siblings results and quite a few 2nd and 3rd cousins known to me (on the charts not personally - my orbit is very very small!). At 79.5 years I do not go many places or spend time with very many people and that will continue to decrease as I concentrate on my books and my family. The time that is left to me is considerably smaller than the time that I have spent on this earth - God be thanked for His kindnesses throughout my life.
Today is cleaning day and it begins in the basement and hopefully the main floor. I take it as it comes most days; how much work I actually do but can still plan on it until it happens or it doesn't happen!
Not yet sure when the election writ will be dropped here in Canada but our Prime Minister (Mark Carney) is off to England and France for a couple of days and also up to Baffin Island to meet with the Premier there. It is wonderful to see so many of the First Nations in government here in Canada. Interesting how our two colonial mother countries (France and England) have become so much a part of our lives these last couple of months. Having a shared border with the EU is rather interesting even if it is just one tiny little island off the coast of Greenland.
I continue with my Latin and French studies on Duolingo and will phase in my German studies as time becomes more and more flexible in the next couple of months. Duolingo is such a terrific way to keep in touch with the languages that I would like to speak better and that I would like to maintain in my life. All of these languages are useful in my research although perhaps German less so but my son in law does have a couple of German ancestors although likely 95% French (with his ancestors stretching back into the beginning days of Quebec City and Montreal).
Breakfast soon as I shall begin this day early for cleaning so that I can accomplish as much as possible. Teatime.
