Relatively simple?

The DNA matches are coming in. I have now made contact with several cousins. Unfortunately, (apart from one match with a 3-4th cousin who I share a common ancestor with) the rest, we have yet to establish that. I'm not sad about that for a second, when you have to work for something it is satisfying, and it gives me the pleasure of doing more research.
I am so happy to have found relatives who share a blood link to me.

Now, what was sleep? It's been so long I've forgotten :) I love Monday. It is my busiest day. I get up, walk the dog, phone a friend, make, prove and bake a loaf of bread (and usually a cake), do my weekly Futurelearn genealogy course, and then work on the family tree - Oh and sometimes make jewellery as well. I expect I will be at the tree until at least 2am, when I read for an hour just to wind down (may I recommend the Clovenhoof series by Heide Goody and Iain Grant? The funniest books I've read for years, and pure escapism - and there is a new book out on Thursday!). 

Blessings to all
