I did accomplish a lot yesterday including shoveling the laneway as it turned out. There wasn't enough for the company to come and do it. I also worked on the Ancestry matches and finished that project for the moment. I see there are four new ones in most of the four siblings accounts so will probably re-visit that in a couple of weeks.
The next project was the phasing of the grandparents/great grandparents and I am working on that. I have 116 new matches to integrate into my database but I am checking the companies where I have tested people in my family before I move forward with that. Plus I haven't extracted all the siblings matches in My Heritage (extracted just my own to use as a guide). That moved along yesterday and will continue with that today.
This is day 11 with the dogs (finally checked the calendar) and still progressing but just one more week to go. All the snow has proven to be a lot for the dogs but they are coping quite well. They really miss their family though and any mention of them perks up their attention. The baby still barks at anything that moves in her vision that looks different. I am definitely getting used to that although I do correct her on that.
Minus 10 degrees celsius and feels colder apparently. No snow in the forecast today but more coming apparently. Perhaps it is my grandfather's words that constantly come back to me these days of England as they stood alone in 1940 (backed by their Commonwealth of course) but still he could feel the thoughts of his siblings still in England as those dark days fell down upon that country. But persevere they did. They lived in the underground by night as the bombs rained around them and in the morning they got up and cleaned it up day after day. And they did survive and so will we as a country and as a people. Free Trade is slowly dying/ actually dead because it was meant to share different items between countries that they do not have or can not produce - competition is deadly when one country is much larger.
