Theres no point boasting about being or 2 ( well 3) car family if they keep breaking down and need to be shamefully brought back home on the back of a recovery lorry 😛

you know who you are 😉 😀 😀 😀

Its been a busy few months.

Xray on my left wrist as well as blood tests for arthritis , nerve conduction study appointment for my left wrist. ill have a final assessment later this week to see whats happening going forward.

Aortic Aneurysm scan shows no increase in size from 12 months ago so no scans for 12 months.

diabetic score stable at 40 mmol.

diabetic eye check in february 2025 but last years test showed no issues.

Still on the blood thinners , statins, blood pressure and anxiety and depression meds but all stable at the moment.

lets hope it stays that way.

As its not the weather for flying drones for my images and videos, ive purchased what is effectively a drone camera on a stick .

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3.

It does everything my old DSLR did but better. Much easier to carry around too.

Well , no sooner does a new neighbour arrive , they seem to move away pretty quickly.

I think it’s the curse of the Addams family 😜

yep , i cant help myself.

Not content with a mini drone , medium drone , sports drone (fpv) , ive got another lol.

To celebrate getting my pilot licence , ive treated myself to a slightly larger than usual drone. This monster has a top speed of 60MPH so no chance of shooting it out of the sky 😉 . it has full optical avoidance sensors and a myriad of other features too long to list . also it boasts a dual camera setup with telephoto lens to get those really close up shots from a safe distance.

Cant wait to get this beast in the air 😉

I took my A2 COFC Drone operator exam last night and happy to say i passed with a 100% score. The tutoring with UAVHUB is second to none , well presented and very easy to follow. My exam just needs to be audited now and i should receive my certificate very soon. A big thank you to all at UAVHUB.

Yep , another drone.

I already have a small cinematic drone for those aerial shots and also a really small drone that can follow me that is great for close contact shots.

Meet the DJI AVATA 2 , This is a Cinematic FPV drone that is great for ripping around , fields , abandoned buildings etc. it comes with the headset allowing a first person view and is fast and nimble enough to get in and out of those nooks and crannies.

I think i’m gonna enjoy this …

I’ve added another drone to the fleet.

The dji Neo.

A bit different to my usual drones, this one is voice controlled , it doesnt even need a remote control ( but i got one anyway).

this will follow me ( literally ) on my travels and will compliment my drone footage with close up shots and hard to access areas.

As i am fully licenced and also it being in the C0 cat , theres almost no restrictions on where i can fly this.

it can also become an FPV drone if i get the headset required , but thats for next year 😉

I had some spare time so printed a case for storage..

This news is over a week old but wanted to wait til mother and baby are home safely . i wont disclose any details on the internet other than they are both doing fine 🙂

Being diabetic , i got a Ninja Speedi today . does everything in one go. much healthier too if used properly.

Much better than those cheap carvery dinners 😉
