Ummmm, I basically research everything & anything that catches my eye.
I have 1 week to study a full 4 week workshop on "Human Design" esoterical concept right now, so starting that today.
Genealogy is one for me too, it's so intriguing & fascinating, really confirmed a lot for me about myself & my identity. Most definately, I love all the vintage photos. A few family members have done a lot of groundwork already. I'm just mostly learning from others work.
Fun Fact - Farest back we've gotten is 13th century in Romania. I've always been a bit of a roamer, so that made a lot of sense.
(Western culture would say "gypsy", but that was originally a slur apparently so once I was aware of that I stopped using the term. My friend who is strong in her Romani heritage told me that. (Years before I discovered my own lineage to Romania.)

He he, bed sheets @Shaz51!
Its a beautiful coastline. Water is amazing and its sunny but its hard to stay out in it due to the wind. Dont eat many pastries but a local bakery has the best sausage rolls 🙂 there is also a cool bookshop here where you can browse and drink coffee ☕️

The only better thing than a public holiday on a Friday, is a public holiday on a Monday! 😂
Ahhh, thank you for letting me know! @Former-Member
I had no idea. I'm in Qld & was wondering what had happened with the Zoom chats today.
This explains it!
