Refined

 It was a very wet start to the day., but it didn't;t matter. There was nothing that either of us had planned that involved leaving the house.

The Gorse Fox had his customary Zoom call with the cousins. It was, as usual, good fun with lots of banter. It was interesting hearing about their time, as a family, living in Malta while their dad completed a Naval posting there.

Once the call was done, the Gorse Fox returned to Photoshop and attempt number two at creating a cover of the book. It took several hours, but he's a lot happier with 2.0 than 1.0. It could probably still do with some further refinement, but that can wait for another day.

The rest of the day has been a return to some of the more intractable problems of the genealogical research... e.g. the Silver Vixen's grandmother and the mystery of when and where she was born (and who her parents were); the other mystery was where the Gorse Fox's 3rd Great grandfather was born, who his parents were, and how he came to be in Glasgow. The issue with intractable problems is that they too easily remain intractable. So is the case. An afternoon of research and not one fresh item of data.
