DNA

 We had very heavy rain overnight. Ellie was dropped off soon after seven and still, the rain was thrashing down. It looked like the walk to school would be rather wet, but first, she needed breakfast. I always ask what she would like and usually, she requests raspberries, melon, cereal, or a ham sandwich. Occasionally she throws a curved ball and I have to make her some eggs. Today was a first, she asked for a bacon sandwich. My heart swelled with pride as she tucked in and completely demolished this gastro breakfast. With proper sustenance on board, she was in a fit state to venture out into the rain with us and make her way to school.

Diane had some blood tests to sort out during the morning. I returned to the computer and started to investigate some of the recent DNA hits that had shown up. At first, progress was slow but I finally made a breakthrough and have managed to document a few of Diane's 2nd and 3rd cousins who were previously unknown.

The afternoon was spent with our books. Being Wednesday, we did not have to collect Ellie from school as she goes to gymnastics in Chichester with a friend.
