On page 8 of the matches now and they are primarily 2 segments with a few 1 segment so will be doing the entire page it does appear although half or more will likely just be placed into the grandparent line or in some cases two grandparents lines as either or or simply insufficient data. As one reaches toward the end of this project in terms of extraction, impatience does enter in just a little but squashed it and moved on. Must be patient working my way through these last 50. Then the task of assigning them into the different files and there are 225 new files. Also back to the other testing companies to check out any new matches and then on to phasing of the grandparents once again but most importantly I hope to phase the great grandparents as a result of all the work at Living DNA since this population most represents my lines going back in that I am 100% English going back many many generations until I reach my Scot lines, my Huguenot lines, my unknown lines that appear to be Scandinavian/Germanic but they are way back with the Huguenot having a known date around 1480 and my Scot around 1400 before they came to England. Is there Irish in there or is it just English lines that went to Ireland and then came back again - all five of us show some Irish as a percentage and that includes at Living DNA.
Shopping yesterday for essentials - batteries for the smoke detectors (will install them today), lights for the rangehood over the stove (one was burned out), watermelon lozenges (this dental appliance dries out my mouth), and some food. That completed it and we were done in about 2 hours. It always takes such a long time to do everything. Lots of rain this July so not a lot of kayaking or walking outside. Unusual not to be in a drought situation actually.
Prayers continuing for all those who died in the floods in Texas (how sad so many children) and prayers continuing as the search for survivors continues (last noted was 170 people still missing in one county alone). Our American neighbours and cousins in my case have so many natural disasters during a year. Their lives have been very difficult this year.
Yesterday we also took four boxes of CDs and one stack of records to Salvation Army. Hope they sell well for them - Edward would like that. They were his collections and I want to keep everything but I need to move. This house is too big for me and there are so many families looking for this price range of house and so the downsizing will continue once again until I am able to move. It has been a lovely family home for us and Edward never wanted to leave it really. He loved that huge garden but his need for a pacemaker way back in 2012 meant that he could no longer maintain it as he wanted to although the pacemaker did help but my lifestyle changed rapidly from one of writing to one of gardening. I am not good at it and do not get the joy out of it that he did but I do try to keep the lawns cut and the weeds down somewhat and let his flowers continue to bloom year after year.
Tea drank and solitaire puzzles next to do. Another day of intermittent exercise and working on the matches extraction.
