In my retirement I have taken up improving my cooking skills. I have also bought a sewing machine and after taking a couple of shirts to pieces to make a pattern I can now make shirts. I recently got an order for 30 decorative place mats from a restaurant. A friend of mine has just bought a fishing boat so I expect I will soon be seen behind a stall at the local fish market. Retirement can be a busy time for some.

Knowing how to sew is a very useful skill. The only problem that comes with it is that you start seeing all these nice fabrics, and getting so many good sewing ideas. Currently my hobbies are painting figurines, sewing (which will most likely be my future profession) and collecting things (dolls, figurines and other junk ).

I'm trying to re-kindle my interest in CB but there is little activity in the Bexhill area. In desperation, I've turned to 446 radio but I haven't detected anyone there, either. I've always wanted to be a HAM but never got round to it.

Too many children and teenagers IMO spoil it for those of us who wanted to have an intelligent conversation

Have a look at www.rsgb.orgIf no luck, feel free to PM me & I'll see if I can help Mark G0SLP

Anyone want to play online chess with me? I would be happy except that to may regret i have never learnt how to play There is a pretty good primer article here. It even includes en passant, which many chess players don't seem to know about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_chess
