First day of cleaning completed

 Somewhere towards the end of washing the basement floor I realized that I had not published my blog; I hadn't actually written it. There are lots of thoughts in my head but I just never sat there and wrote the blog.

I did my solitaire puzzles first thing actually when my tea was ready. Then I moved right into Chromosome 16 and worked away at that until the Robot had done its job on the rug and that was completed. It sent me the usual message and I went down and finished the basement. The time just passed so quickly. 

I did go to Church yesterday on YouTube but the service published just as the sermon was about to begin. Once published the service did not come back and so I read the rest of the service on my own and if the sermon is published will read that as well. Advent Four Service is generally low key as everyone is in a Christmas thought mood. I am still shopping and hope to get some more completed tomorrow.   

Lovely light snow is falling today onto that icy mess with a snow pack on top. Perhaps skiing in a couple of days; time will tell. But it looks so much like Christmas with the snow falling lightly to the ground also covered with snow. We have our White Christmas back for this year at least. 

I listened to the Prime Minister's discussion on the past year with one of the CBC directors and found it most interesting. I continue to support him as his aim is very much what I would like to see happen in Canada. We have so much that we can do and we just need to get it done. A Conservative at heart but I very often fail to see good Conservative language coming out of the Conservative party - I hate it when the "attack-approach" is used. It is ridiculous. Get with what needs to be done and save your discussion for items that are truly worth discussing. In the meantime we need to work together and get this done; Canada needs to diversify the exports to countries all around the globe and there isn't time to waste. The Conservative Party needs to get international experience; they do not have it and perhaps their Economy Critics could get themselves going around the world helping to sell the products that are in their areas. That would give them a little international experience but I continue to believe that coming out of a political science degree/background at the university is inadequate to take on the demands of a parliamentary seat. Work first and then bring your skills to parliament; there is plenty of time. 

Chromosome 16 going well although not a lot of separation into great-grandparents however a number of the matches I have selected have Ancestry trees or other and will need to work on that. There are some areas though that are known to me particularly Blake, Pincombe, Knight and to come still are a number of known matches. 

Lunch soon; I am hungry after all that work.
