25th Wedding Anniversary

Last Tuesday my nephew Paul celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary and had a family gathering. I have had some pictures from Paul's sister, Gillian. Kate, Helena, Christina, Amy and her dad, Christopher in the upper picture.
Below we have Jennifer, Louise, Emily, Charlotte and Laura!

Revising Morse Code!

Although it is out of date, amateurs still use it. One of the Worthing club members runs a learning course and I have joined. I have also rejoined the Worthing club. There was a session on the air tonight but I joined rather late. I think it is good exercise for the brain! There are some interesting types who take part, plus a number of old codgers like me who are at present very much in the learning role.

I missed the bab at Farnborough, it would have meant 5 hrs of train!

With the help of 2 of the Surrey LUG I have "easy peasey" on my Eee PC now. This puts Ubuntu on the noteook and is much superior to Xandros (which was on before).

Back to Morse!

I have been encouraged to join a morse group on Tuesday nights. It's probably good to make the brain work a bit. I found a good tutor program on the net and have used it a bit. We are on tomorrow night from 7 pm and I will meet up with one of the men who tutored me years and years ago. He is Graham, G0IOF, a staunch member of the Newhaven Fort Club.

Also contemplating going to Farnborough for a bab meeting on Saturday. The troule is the rather long train journey, shall think about it. Sadly I don't think I will attempt it!
