I set up software defined radio on my computer, beats buying a base scanning radio, shortwave radio, AM-FM radio, and a lot of other communication devices. You do have to be able to do some computer geekery, but this follows a set recipe. It also helps to have all the requisite build-up of computer bits and bobs accumulated over 20 years of digital photography.

Cannot resist this one.
Do you remember all the playground games which kids nowadays have never heard of?
We made kites from a couple of bits of stick, old newspaper stuck together with flour paste and a lot of string.
In season we had sticks and stones ( a version of noughts and crosses),bogies,,hoops,bools,slides on ice or in my first school a base of fungi, and of course the picture shows tanks.
The girls had peevers and skipping ropes mainly.

I went to Aldi this morning and espied my first Stollen of the season, plus several gallons of Glühwein. We're barely into autumn and winter's on our shelves.

@Ripple Belated happy birthday!
@classic33 Hope the cuts and bruises mend swiftly.
