I do not have enough time left to be anything more than a beginner in anything,
in fact I have been a beginner all my life.

I sometimes think that it would have been good to have been a Victorian, and to have been able to know a lot about nearly everything.
But that would not have been nice sometimes,
cos they had plagues and things that they couldn't do anything much about.

Oh !!!!!

There is so much more fun in being a beginner, you can get away with almost anything and ask lots of what appears to some as being 'dumb' questions and find out the most amazing things.
We have quite a number of courses here in Germany that my wife can attend as learning courses and get paid for. We have a regular week long course that we go to on mineralogy (unfortunately canceled this April due to the virus) and have been attending for the last 4 years. We also had about 4, week long courses on mushrooms, looking at spores and the structure through microscopes which is how we decided to buy our own scope.
I recently bought a Dremel Multitool to work on fossils and cut and polish stones and the story goes on, never give up on curiosity.
