Good Morning Saturday, 20th September 2025

Good morning to everybody enjoying the weekend. It is quite sunny here and temperatures are in the low 20s but the wind has picked up.

Last night I woke up about 3am very hot, the night time temperature never went below 15°, it is that awkward time of the year when one has to make the call to change from winter to summer doona. I have compromised and changed the feather doona for a wool one, I am not prepared to go full summer mode yet, early spring is too unpredictable.

Flew my drone a bit yesterday arvo. I have discovered one of the disadvantages of it being too clever. My old drone only had sensors facing downward for landing but this one as sensors in all directions to stop it hitting things. I wanted to look in my gutters, getting ready for the bush fire season, with the old drone it was possible to fly just a few inches above the gutter and track sideways along it.

This drone will not have a bar of it, it can see the slope of the roof in front of it so refuses to go any closer which is about 75 mm away from the guttering. It wasn’t the end of the world I just had to fly it a bit higher and use the zoom to see into the gutter. It just goes to show that being cleverer is not always better.

Have to go to the supermarket later for milk but the wind has made sitting in the garden too cool even with a cardigan on, I do have a job I want to get done, the massive flowers on the Agave in the front garden have finished so they need cutting down and while I am at it will remove the plant as well to let the baby ones grow and take over.

Enjoy your weekend

Take care…
