Snowing today. First time here this winter. Weather is okay this week except for strong winds, so not sure if I’ll go out. I don’t mind cold but wind is just a pain. I’ll see how the forecast changes.

I should make use of the bad weather and go do my Christmas shopping. I’ll be annoyed with myself if there are lovely sunny, still days in December and I have to go shopping. But equally this could be the nicest weather and it just gets worse!

Started the shopping online. Hopefully I can finish soon enough. Although it’s the wife’s birthday in early Jan so have to make sure I have enough for that as well.

Started looking at morse courses online. There’s the CWops academy which do a two month course with meetings twice a week. Only problem with that is the times in the evening aren’t great for me. I want it to be 8-9 or 9-10 but they only do 7-8 or 10-11. Not sure why but perhaps depends on the advisors and what they want to do. Their course is Jan-Feb.

There’s another one run by the Long Island CW club, it’s more informal and you drop into sessions as a when, but they have lots of them. That is more convenient but I suspect less likely to get results than the intensive two month course.
