Change of Calendar

Yes time to change over calendars. The last few years I have been buying magic dot calendars where you can print your own photos and attach them via the corners. I could not find any of them this time around so I tried an online calendar maker. They had a promotion for $7 so I gave it a go. Probably should have spent more time on it but it seems to have worked ok. You can arrange multiple photos in various positions. See the example months.

Nutri Bullet Breakfast

We have tried two goes at the Bullet breakfast. The first one turned out very green. I think it was the Spinach.  There were also green apples as well. The next day we had less green and more red as in strawberries. Also we did not hold the gizmo long enough to completely chew the ingredients so there were a lot of lumps. This morning was more drinkable rather than spoonable.

Drone Rises

Yes we got the drone outside this time but the wind was a bit tricky. It seemed to want to fly in one direction only so the flying skills need a bit more work. The best idea is to be close to a power source but also have some open space. The controller is complex and is best worked using multiple fingers. I wouldn't start this type of flying with an expensive drone.

Plover Report

Those plovers are crowding the beach. The spot we have been using on the sand has been fenced to keep us out because plovers are nesting. Those little scurrying  fur balls. Mind you I have not seen any of them in this fenced area yet. We have gotten the digital radio going via the DAB channels however it seems to get interference when you walk nearby. We have got the Chemist Warehouse station going so far where every add is about Chemist stuff.

Low Profile Boxing Day

Yes a quiet day is in order, except for the soaking rainy jog I did this morning.  Yesterdays wrapping paper is today's rubbish which has been cleaned up. I also got the quad copter drone to work after much reading of the Korean? translations.  The main trick not in the instructions,  is to turn on the mobile controller with the power joy stick in the down position (not centred). This enables connection between the controller and the drone.  Now I might go and do some colouring. it must be at least 50 yar since I had a colouring book.

Christmas Jog

Never been for a Christmas Jog before. There were no cars around but on the tracks and trails especially down by the river it was business as usual. There were even people training on the athletics track before the heat sets in.  I have made cherry jelly!  It doesn't compare with last years water melon tower.

Christmas Eve

I did manage to visit a few Christmas locations earlier this season so it hasn't been all bad.  The shopping has been finished today (not me). I have unloaded the delivery of kitchen cupboards over at Burnside, made it back in time to unload a mattress delivery here. Also got some presents going in time for the cleaners just now and should just be ready to take a conference call at noon.  I don't recommend last minute but I think it will take all afternoon to wrap gifts.
