Boys' toys

How can anyone look so gormless I hear you ask? Indeed it has to be said not a great selfie.
The reason for the open mouth and concentrated stare is that I am trying to control a quadcopter with camera underneath with a fiddly little remote that has far too many controls and at the same time battling, not surprisingly, too stiffish an old breeze to make it an easy task. I was hoping to produce a glorious shot of the house from the air but to date have not dared let the machine high enough to get above the roofline. The camera itself is not too sharp but at £35 it has been a great toy so far.
The other toy that arrived yesterday was a grass trimmer. Nowhere near as much fun or glamour but it does do a bit of a job. A slow job I'd have to say but once the grass has been tamed I hope it will become quicker.
Otherwise another pottering day but a glorious afternoon weather-wise with a good walk on the Baleshare beach. Winter is clearly almost here as evidenced by the Glaaucous Gull having returned from its summer hols in Greenland and flocks of Barnacle Geese fighting south against the wind to their winter refuges in Ireland.
