Another busy day of cleaning yesterday but all accomplished and the rest of the week is mine pretty much although I do need to do something about Christmas as to date I have done absolutely nothing except contemplate what I could do. The weather is meant to warm up although at the moment it is minus 8 degrees celsius and there is a prediction of eventual rain tomorrow which will wreck the snow for skiing but will clear the streets. Winter is always a trade off in Canada - it can be desperately cold for days on end and lots of snow for winter sport pleasure and then along comes the ice storms which can leave us somewhat on tenderhooks for a couple of days whilst it melts or is sucked back into the cold air - either way does eventually work to eliminate the ice.
No work on the chromosomes particularly. I have this one group of matches that have been difficult to place and now I am seeing them once again in the 18th chromosome with a nice match length and working diligently to determine exactly which great grandparent line that they are - they come from several different testing companies and not a lot of actual family information to help with that. I do have one known length which is Buller but that kit has now been withdrawn although I did collect many many matches with it. It was slightly shorter than the others which are in conflict with each other somewhat. Will continue pondering that today and sorting it out. It has a couple of possibilities - Taylor (the other half of the Buller-Taylor great grandparent set) and Blake (either Blake or Rawlings although does not really appear to be Rawlings so have mostly eliminated that in my mind and it would be Blake or Knight). Endogamy in the Knight line can give me surprises and it is the one that I watch for mostly - some of the matches are definitely in the Knight line and can place them which is handy and now just have to check these unassigned matches and see where I can place them or just not use them for this particular task - I do not need them necessarily.
Not watching the news again for a bit overly and it is good to see that in most cases the individuals who brought violence to the forefront all over the world in the past couple of days have been brought to justice with one exception and hopefully the individual who attacked Brown's University will be apprehended - not so much for fear of a continuation of violence but more because those young people deserve to be defended to the utmost of our ability; they had their entire lives to live and it has been taken from them.
Must make my tea and finish my morning exercise routine.
