Back online

 The system was still down so decided to write my blog offline. I did try to install Blogger on my other phone but it was just too much trouble to change things around. System down since yesterday about this time or perhaps just a little later.

Had a busy day already working on my phasing reviewing the existing Known matches. I did find a few that appeared to be outside of my original phasing so will see how that works out when I actually get to setting up the boundaries again. Sometimes it was a bit cloudy in that regard although generally everything looks great.

I also got started on the first will in the list  for Agnes Blake 1617 at Charlton. She is a widow but my purpose in doing the Blake wills is to do them all so that I do not need to go back to the will continuously wondering what is in it. It was an interesting one full of clothing details. Clothes were still handed on when I was a child. I had a lovely coat from my Great Aunt Ada (my grandmother's sister) that I truly enjoyed for a couple of years until I was too tall for it (she was rather short about six inches shorter than me).

I also did some online searching (on the phone which is really rather limited in its scope for sure) for H11 as I need to get that newsletter written. I think I am gradually becoming less stressed and it does not appear that I am stressed about the lack of internet as I am getting things done that I continue to set aside for whatever reason. Less interesting I guess than what I am currently into working on.

Interesting how relaxed the atmosphere is in Canada with the new parliament coming up even with a minority government. We have the two main parties Liberals and Conservatives with around 85% and the people have spoken. We want what they were saying during the campaign and for the most part they differed in their ideas of how to progress forward. The big difference was experience versus youth. Mind you Pierre Poilievre has been in parliament for twenty years so he can certainly help very much with this process of getting items organized, approved and on the ground working. Mark Carney has the experience and knowledge of interconnected inter governmental affairs that will really help to get us moving. Although, apparently, our trade not to the United States is now exceeding our trade to the United States. That works for us and the President has said that it is working for them I assume from the meeting in the Oval Office yesterday. The President and the Prime Minister got along very well which was good to see - I streamed it on the phone for a bit. The President was chatty as he talked most of the time but the Prime Minister had some things to comment on and he said them and we are proud of him as our representative in this present difficult situation involving tariffs. The President wants us to be friends and assuredly we have always been friends with the United States these past two hundred years plus.

It will be nice that the King is coming on the 26th/27th to Open Parliament and read the Liberal Message to us. It is also nice that the Queen is coming. I shall watch it all on the television. My daughter will be busy doing her research to take out so much time but will likely watch it with me on the television.

Other than that I will carry on with my exercise routines (time to row) and my work offline and I am making great strides in that regard as I just kept putting some of it off. I found sorting the matches into my various databases and other storage areas just so relaxing that I didn't want to set it aside. But now I am back into doing what I also need to do.
