Weekend update..

Soo.. Friday night's meal was fajitas with chicken marinaded in this wonderful find by Hubby..

Yummy!

Saturday I spotted a very grown-up looking Egbert striding about on nextdoor's flat roof (see his baby pic in one of my August posts last year).  I know it was him because he was still moidering his Mother for food.  She is easy to identify due to her limp, although thankfully her leg seems to have improved loads.  No thanks to the manic drivers.. don't get me started!  

Took this pic last year.. although taken with my phone,  I have to admit I was really pleased with this one!

Saturday shopping involved a call in at the pet shop for hamster food and guinea pig pellets.. and of course the usual peep at the little guys for sale.  From past experience, if I begin considering purchasing another pet, or ponder my next pet's name, something happens to worry me about my current pet and my attention is brought straight back to them amid tumultuous guilt that my thoughts had strayed for a moment.  Therefore I keep God in no doubt that I am completely happy with my current pet, and that he doesn't need to take him from me yet, or ever..  so let it be known that I only took this photo because this ratty guy was looking so cute and I hope he finds himself living with a kind owner who cherishes him like I cherish my Humphrey Hamster.

Coming to Sunday, Hubby and I went swimming on our own this morning.  Bit of a disappointment that the hot tub was out of action, and we'd left it a bit late to grab a 'noodle' from the corner before the swimming teacher arrived with pupils and parents.  (Hubby pulls me along as fast as he can, and my laugh echoes far too loudly against the low ceiling.. well that's what usually happens at some point during our pool visit, but not today.  Sad face.)  After Hubby had taken AGES in the shower, we went into the main town to purchase some plants for the garden.

The red pot on the top there is a tomato plant that Hubby is going to take to work.  This time next month, it will probably be the only plant still alive!  I must water them regularly this year.  But I have to carry the watering can literally around the houses to get to the front garden.  It's either that or traipse it, and the dirt on my flipflops, through the house multiple times.  So anyway this afternoon I have been doing a lot of gardening.  

Hubby spent part of the afternoon putting the finishing touches to his revamped quadcopter.  He has been building it for quite a few months now, changing the parts and seeing what works best.  He has put a camera on it and has the 'Fat Shark' goggles that he can look through when he's flying it.  So we were all called through to witness the 'maiden' flight and very impressive it was.  He has done really well to get it flying again, after having various problems to sort out during its construction.  The offspring and I had a go wearing the goggles, but he himself will wait until he is flying in a wider space before he tries the goggles on himself.  So exciting for him I would imagine, to make this from scratch and get it flying.  There are actually two cameras on it he tells me.  One that he can view through the goggles, and the other that records.  He's had to balance it all correctly and everything.  He's a very clever Hubby, but don't tell him as he will be unbearable!!
