My activities as senior citizen in Lytham St. Annes:
|
Golf: I joined the Lytham Green Drive Golf Club. At the end of the 2003 season I developed a severe case of golf elbow (like tennis elbow)
and could not possibly hit a golf ball for over 2 years. Since then I have been playing somewhat, though much less than I would want to, mainly at Ribby Hall´s
9-hole par-3 course. At the end of the 2008 season I felt pain in the other arm and shoulder after a golf round, so I held off playing for the remainder of the season.
This happened again in 2009 and I have not dared play since then, as I still feel some pain. I enjoyed watching the Women's British Open on site in 2003 and 2005 at the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club and in 2012 the Men's (British) OPEN. Bridge: I have joined two bridge clubs: Lytham Bridge Club and Clifton Bridge Club. I play three evenings a week and only have 5 minutes walk to both clubs. Geneology: For Sandra's family tree I used Ancestry which has the Censuses from 1841 to 1911 and also FreeBMD for birth, marriage and death certificates from 1837 onwards. I have 8 generations on Sandra's family tree - Sandra is in generation six. The oldest person was born in 1779. For my own family tree I used GenLine, which I believe has been taken over by Ancestry. GenLine used the micro films of the Swedish church records that the Mormons did in the 1950s, which now have been digitalized. I have 10 generations on my family tree - I am in generation eight. The oldest person found was born in 1691. |
Computers: I bought my first computer for Xmas 1984, a Tandy. Personal computers were new then, and I made a conscious policy decision that I better get with it.
Since then I have renewed my desktop 6 times. My present desktop PC I bought in 2015 and in 2012 I got myself a tablet (Nexus 7 - replaced by Nexus 9 in Nov 2014 and by Galaxy Tab S2 in June 2017).
Since my retirement I am spending more time computing as a hobby - less than half of this is now on the PC and over half on the tablet. My main fields of interest are:
