What a nice lazy day The Man and I have had. It’s pretty
unusual for us not to even go out for a stroll around the shops here at crystal
palace. Oh all right, The Man did go for a quick walk to the supermarket
earlier to buy butter to cook the mushies in. And it was NZ butter too. Yummy
he is such a great breakfast chef.
I spent a bit of time of Face Book chatting to family and
then when they had all signed off and gone to bed I got out the family history
stuff and spent much of the rest of the day ‘pruning’ the tree.
Well when I say pruning, what I really mean is going through
the information I have, yet again, and trying to get it into some sort of
order. But I’m easily side tracked by interesting, if not very helpful
tangents. I’m kicking myself to for not putting the date on print outs of
census records. Not a clever move that. You’d think though that on the actual
page itself thee would be a date, well I would think that would be a logical
thing to do. Never mind.
I have been looking for details about the birth of my
paternal three times great grandfather, and I . feel like I am going around and around in
circles with him. I thought at one stage Aha there you are. I thought I had
found him in a census entry for a hospital in 1841, but said hospital was more than
30 miles away. Hmm probably not him then. Oh well keep on looking.
Now here’s one for the interesting snippet file. Do you know how the Arctic Circle is defined?
Well I do now, courtesy of The Man’s afternoon reading. It is the line of latitude
marking the southern limit of here the sun does not set in June or rise at the December
solstices.
