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!

Told at work today I know the weirdest shit ... so good to know I've still got it!

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?!

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: 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.

How can something that scares me look so cute and happy in this post?!
this was the first weird medieval guy to ever go viral 🥰🥰

Or even tomorrow evening .... i can do timezones!

*shame*
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!!

Not sure I have the bandwidth for dealing with people today. Slept badly, I'm freezing and just want to go back under the duvet for few hours!

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!

I'm a new Pākehā to this land, but even I understand that Te Tiriti o Waitangi needs to be protected and the bill is appalling.

This 👇 is brilliant
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

This is great ...

Oooh glad I've got my headphones with me today. Will have a listen after work :)

Well work today is fun.

Please remember GP receptionists are people too and raising your voice at me won't help me help you any quicker

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!)
