I wish I brought my keyboard with me to write on here with it whilst
we're away. Typing on the phone is fine but a hassle.

I should just renew the domain. I like this site as it is and not
impacting anything else. If it works; don't touch it.

Often on holiday I'll come up with new plans or ideas or projects. So
far, not much. Trying to learn my morse/cw. Up to lesson 18 in
MorseMania but I feel like it goes too fast and now I don't know the new
letters. I might go back to MorseForge or Morse-it. Although I could
just go back some lessons and keep practicing those letters until I know
them. I think if I complete all the lessons then I'll know it. Which
isn't true. I just get good enough at answering the quiz - which lets
you repeat the sound. I still think lcwo is the best website, it's just
not great on mobile. But it makes you listen and also makes you move on
if you miss a letter. Probably ideal for lunch time at work. General
consensus is to copy all letters before learning to send. However, CW
Ops does both at the same time. They teach lots of people so they must
know something. Everyone says sending is easier than receiving so I
shouldn't worry too much. When I do practice sending I would like to
start with the key I intend on using for SOTA. To get used to it.
Although I don't know which that'll be. I have a tiny N6ARA one and a
palm radios one from a SK sale locally. I would like a palm radios pico
one or a bamatech one but the guy died...

Think I want to get rid of some of the Lego trains. As I've repeatedly
said, they're too big. Perhaps I'll get rid of the Horizon Express sets
I have, plus the extra parts to make the long TGV version. Probably I
should make it up to show it makes both to take photos, but that's a
chore. I think the project I want to do is to finish things and sell /
get rid of things. I should finish my qmx setup so I can actually use
it. Then clear out stuff I don't need. Which is always easier than said.

I've not been wearing my smartwatch and am not missing seeing all the
numbers.
