Rain

 Gosh, it's been a wet day. It was a good job we didn't have to go out. The day started with the weekly cousins' call. Main topics for today seemed to be Djokovic's Visa problems in Australia (eliciting no sympathy at all) and thence got on to pensions and the 1921 Census.

Once the call was done, the Gorse Fox wasted a couple of hours trying to find cousin Tim's house on the 1921 Census. The Gorse Fox expected this to be fairly simple, but after a couple of hours he had drawn a blank. The biggest problem with small villages is that many houses are not on named roads, many are known by house name, and many are just cottages with no number or name. His house isn't on a named road, and its name has changed. In the end, the Gorse Fox sent a screenshot of all the possible hits.

The rest of the day was spent working on compiling an ancestors book for the Silver Vixen. This was part of the testing he has been doing for the developer. The book compiled without issue, but there was still a minor error in the index of place names. This has been reported back to the developer.

Cousteau-Cub and the Coventry Hobbit popped in this afternoon. Cousteau-Cub's Christmas present had arrived during the week so she wanted to collect them. As it happens they needed to stop anyway as their car was showing an engine warning light. We had a root around, but there was nothing obvious. This will need attention from someone who knows what they are doing.
