Guten Tag, Alle,
I imagine a lot of you are multi-talented and enjoy other pursuits when not playing virtual skipper (that
has been known to happen, right?) Some, like model making, are naturally connected with military history. In my spare time I write screenplays; my current project is about the later years of T.E. Lawrence's life, when he was testing rescue speedboats for the RAF. (Yes, I feel right at home with history scholars; I may even do research at Oxford this fall.)
Others hobbies are perhaps not at all connected. For ex., last fall I started making espresso at home. By applying the same degree of obsession that I devote to convoy attacks, the progress has been most gratifying, esp. as my girlfriend appreciates a good cappuccino in the morning. (As the home barista, I'm also learning to mix cocktails.)
So, please share with us your other hobbies. Don't hold back, show us your brilliance!
