It's been a lovely day. The sun has brightened an uninterrupted blue sky. The Silver Vixen had plans and went off to LA to join up with a friend for a stroll and some coffee. The Gorse Fox knows well enough, that this would mean she would not reappear until dinner time!
The Gorse Fox squirrelled himself away in the study. It didn't start very well. The new laptop, merlin, would not start. The Gorse Fox phoned Dell. When he got through to a technician, quoted the serial number, and explained the problem the laptop burst back into life. No intervention was required. That was a relief.
Back at the code face, he is concentrating on a book of Laws (his mother's maternal family). At the moment this stretches back to the mid 1600s and an early draft of the book runs to over 300 pages. Today he has been working through the defat, page by page. As he goes, he rechecks the data and gathers more if he can. He also adapts the database so that when next compiled, the book will self-heal. The first draft covered some 360 individuals, but today's research has probably added another 20. This could be a long exercise as, so far, he has only got to page 65.
