Last day of cleaning for this week

Today the top floor and then the cleaning will all be accomplished. The weather looks like rain today so perhaps not a walk on the beach which we enjoyed last evening although rain had been promised yesterday but it was still okay to walk after all. 

The Pincombe-Pinkham newsletter was completed and perhaps the next one will have more exciting details as this was merely a summation of items and ideas for where I could obtain needed material for the next chapters to come. 

Continued with the matches and about half way through the third page of 50 matches. Still some new ones although not very many but I am now up to 140 new matches to put into the system. Not all of them will go in but I will put them into my interesting file but not entered so that I can look at them in the future. One feature of the Living DNA bookmark is looking at the chromosome results for everyone in the box which I have not yet looked at very thoroughly other than to note that it was possible. That will be interesting to work with as well. I am pleased with the Living DNA setup as it is a time saver for extracting the information for a set of siblings. Although I am not actually using that to a great degree I could do so and likely as I check the account in the future after this very first go through on my part years after I tested has been most interesting. I could see back when the chromosome browser first came out that I was showing endogamy quite extensively in some of the results and just avoided it at the time as life was pretty busy. 

The weather today does look a little gloomy so will be a good inside work day which is my favourite - gardening is never going to be something that I eagerly go out the door to do. At least I recognize most of the plants that have survived my not recognizing them. The Hosta does dominate the garden as Edward found they were less work for him and occupied a lot of space keeping the weeds down as they are much more aggressive than the smaller weeds. 

The sunflowers are doing well and the rows are very visible now. I think it was a good plan to just turn the garden patch into a sunflower garden. It will be lovely when the flower heads form. The many animals who run through this yard will enjoy the seeds. The larger birds might also nip down and clip off a plant head perhaps. There is a good clear run down into the garden. I shall watch for that as well. The raspberries are doing very well and all this rain will give a lot of berries for sure. 

Tea drank, solitaire puzzles completed and time for breakfast. I am a bit late today. I was working away on a couple of projects before I went down to make my tea. The time does pass quickly.
