Trinity Phoenix Sounds a bit too graceful to be me!

Today has been "a day" ... had four annoyed patients in succession ... (only one had an actual point). Luckily the docs and nurses were lovely today and patient with me as the other admin went home sick. I may hug the couch for a bit though to recover!

I had a new message at Ancestry notification email this morning, I've been stuck in work and can't check it; it's really bugging me!! Does anyone else have the same lack of patience as me?! #Ancestry #GenChat #Genealogy #SoddingWork

Between 1861 and 2022, three people were prosecuted in England and Wales for getting an abortion. Since 2022, at least seven people have been prosecuted. We need to decriminalise abortion properly. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Petition: Decriminalise Abortion

I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

From the high hopes that I can treat myself to some new tech that may or may not have been influenced by @miagen.bsky.social during the #EscapeToThePast weekend (hosted by @fiona-memories.bsky.social and Mia) .... to the depressing low that is an email from HMRC with my tax bill. Damn It.

Hope everyone has a good #GenHour this evening. (Posted early as I'll be working) I'm currently working through my mum's top #DNA matches to try and place them on the tree, and getting side tracked by the fact a lot of them also match my dad!! #WelshResearch What are you working on?

Researching a Jones line in my tree. Twin sisters marry 2 brothers, & another sis marries a different Jones family. This is to rest from my paternal Roberts line that marries into a maternal Roberts line that is related to my maternal Davies line.... Are you confused yet? I love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 research.

Eyes retested, my eyesight has improved, new glasses ordered and a random conversation on the bus home ranging from Chester's Tudor building,Offas's Dyke, Irish Hedge Schools and the state of the current Welsh rugby team (all with the same old man) Queenstown is random!

Also, I'm looking to connect with more Aus / NZ based genies now I'm down this end of the globe. Any suggestions or recommendations gratefully received; I feel a bit like I've lost part of my tribe that I can confer with in real time (esp. when I'm stuck / annoyed!) #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Because I don't learn, I've just picked up my family history research (for those not in my time zone, it's 11pm) and discovered that John Puleston who married Mary Jones is the son of John Puleston and Mary Jones. Thanks #Wales #Genealogy #AncestryHour #FamilyHistory

I've just added ALL of the #Whoniverse to my watchlist ... so if you don't see me in public please send me a message to check I've remembered to eat / not been swallowed by the sofa. This is going to be greater than my covid 'Watch all of #StarTrek in Star Date order' marathon. #DoctorWho

Today is going VERY slowly, but I'm not feeling quite so unwell so TNA tomorrow should be less of a struggle and I got my new washing machine delivered earlier :D (context: I've been waiting a month for my landlord to arrange a replacement & I'm old now so am excited for it!)

Semi successful #research trip out today, pet peeves ... not enough snake weights, text the very edges of the paper and folds that just won't go flat 🙄 #Genealogy #AncestryHour #FamilyHistory

Today I am mostly travelling into Central to hunt a EIC Sergeant Fitzpatrick (and no, I don't have the forename), and to photograph some coronor court records. What I mostly want to be doing is to lay on the sofa drinking tea and keeping warm :/

Realising I'll have time to get back to some of my own research soon & also how little time I'll have left to visit The National Archives (UK). I need a list for all my Puleston wants (that also includes #medieval & #latin ppl to help me understand what I'm copying) #Genealogy #Ancestry 🗃️

Earlier I mentioned that I needed to make my conclusion more explicit in explaining the work I've done, describing it as needing to be 'like a punch in the face'. I've just put the next episode of The Witcher on, & it's called "Everybody Has A Plan 'til They Get Punched in the Face". I feel seen!

Today my brain feels like all the browser tabs are open yet nothing is being achieved. Yesterday I'd very much had enough of being in the UK. Apparently I can expect this until I have a move date set, at which point I'll feel like I've not got enough time to do everything.
