A major UK dealer is advertising a second hand receiver for £3299.
I am not judging others who have a perfect right to spend their money as they see fit.
Just count me out!

Grandchildren - NOT amateur radio
In a couple of years they will be grown up and "flown the nest".
We think these days will last forever, but know they will not.

10m QRP WSPR (Friday)
My stand-alone 500mW 10m WSPR beacon has been on since mid-morning and my QRP has been spotted by 52 stations at 1230z including North and South Americans.
UPDATE 1644z: 92 spots of my little 10m WSPR beacon today.
6m QRP FT8 (Friday)
Already my 6m QRP FT8 is being spotted in Asiatic Russia and Canada. In total, 58 stations have spotted me by 1227z.
UPDATE 1651z: 65 stations have spotted me today. I was expecting lots of USA and Canadian via F2, but nothing here apart from the station in Newfoundland. I guess this could have been F2 or even Es. I reckon my output is about 3W.

Cambridge Art Gallery - NOT amateur radio
They always seem to have unusual paintings on display.
Village History - NOT amateur radio
Opposite was a plaque to an old Jewish cemetery. It is called "Jerusalem Gardens". I cannot imagine a Jewish community here centuries ago in the time of King Henry II.
UPDATE Nov 1st: I did not realise King Henry II was in the 1100s AD.
10m 500mW WSPR TX (Thursday)
After returning from Cambridge, I turned on my stand-alone 10m W5OLF WSPR TX beacon. Plenty of USA spots plus F61695 (9729km).
UPDATE 2042z: In all today 74 stations have spotted me.
