Thursday, I did another quick grocery run to Save-On and they actually had salad kits on sale, almost half-price!!

I had ordered 2 supposed military-grade drones from a Facebook ad, always fearful that the ads are fraudulent, but the drones arrived.  The only thing missing was the warranty I had paid for, which they said they don't provide documentation for, but guarantee 3 years coverage for everything except loss or theft.  Having that in writing pleased me.

Friday, my son turned 56 so we had a chat about the birthday and the drones.  Hopefully we will get together soon  and he can show me how to operate one...  The other is for him...  I just may give the second one to the grandson.

Friday night, I took my cousin Jeanne out for a Birthday supper (hers was Saturday) and she chose to go to an African restaurant called Nando's, and the food was very good (heavy on the hot peri-peri sauces).

Saturday, I ordered a dozen t-shirts from Temu, split between 3 friends.  It took a long time because the Telus internet kept dropping speeds to virtually zero...  I texted the Manager here and he contacted Telus and then things improved considerably.

Today, it was cold, cloudy and miserable.  I cut my hair again and then went out in shorts and t-shirt to jabber with some residents braving the weather.  After about 10 minutes I came back in to the warm apartment.

So, I watched Formula 1 from Montreal, tennis from Paris, baseball from Oakland and football from Toronto.  Then I spotted my neighbourhood-friendly crow milling around the puddle that forms in the adjacent lot every time it rains.  I had seen him there before, but this time he hung around until I got the Nikon.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
