Liverpool

I had hoped to have a few days out and about this week, however it's not worked out like that at all. On Monday it was cold and wet and blowing a gale so I stayed in. On Tuesday, it was cold and wet and windy again so rather than staying in, I went off to the Record Office and did some genealogy research. Thankfully yesterday was much nicer

Feh to nasty weather. It's been raining here for several days now and we actually had some impressive fog last night, at least for round here as we don't get fog very much. It wasn't unsafe to drive in but looked nice muting all the landscape around me when I drove home from work. Yay for genealogy research though; did you find anything helpful

Maybe you're too far from the Charles to get much fog. It does tend to congregate around water like rivers.

I got to look at my grandparents entry in the marriage registry which was really amazing although pretty emotional. I also got lots of census information which I need to look over properly. And! I also found the details of burial for my great-grandparents on my mother's father's side. You know, the awkward side I've not been able to find anything on at all. I'll have to go and find the grave site and see if it has a gravestone with more information on for me.

I tried the Navigation thing quite a while ago but it just said it didn't have data for my area. I think it was about this time last year, so they've obviously extended to cover the UK now as well as the US.

The book I'm taking on holiday with me is the Spellwright one. I'm really impatient to start it. I'm feeling okay now, I didn't feel too bad yesterday either, just tired.

*nods* True, that might be it. The Charles isn't really that far from me at all but maybe it's far enough to deny me fog.

That's brilliant that you found their entry in the marriage registry. It does seem like it would be emotional though. Yay for getting all that census info too, but omgYAY for finding the burial details! That's so wonderful. I hope the grave gives you some leads.

Yay also for Navigation extending its coverage! About time too. Most fortuitous that it was in time for your holiday.

I'm v glad you're feeling better now. Spellwright looks quite interesting so I've requested it at the liberry. :)

I really want to go to Liverpool one day and do all the Beatles stuff!

[ganimede]

Oh, you really have to. Although there is so much of it! I'll show you round if you like ;)

[sullen_hearts]

I would like that! Maybe October? I'm free in October.

Yay! October is good for me, my diary is empty for that month apart from 7-8 cos that's Yom Kippur.
