Where is Speckles?

Been in the workshop for a while doing some electronics repairs. Decided to go inside for a coffee break and on the way looked for Speckles - where is she?

Did the rounds of both the back and front yards, no sign of her?

Finally found her here... near the garage/workshop tucked in behind that English Box

On the right is my Auto refill / Auto water recycle bird bath

Happy birthday Pixie -

  

She is 13 years old today

Meatball Curry

This is much the same as my Chicken Curry but first the balls need to be prepared. Finely dice medium onion and in a bowl mix that into 500G of mince along with curry powder (Mackenzies Clive of India) and a beef cube. Now the fun part; compress and form into balls, put aside and start prepping/cooking the main curry sauce. PM for recipe.

Tomato plants

This year our tomatoes (5 plants in a ALDI garden box) are looking worse than they did last year but... here's todays quick pick.

V380 camera problem

Went to move it from the bird bath over to the cottage garden to monitor Speckles and when I plugged the micro USB cable into the camera connector it broke away and is now rattling around inside the camera housing – bugger.

Gave myself no chance of repairing this one!

Removed the base and the USB PCB socket dropped out onto the work bench. - the tiny mounting legs have broken off. No photo of the actual socket as it's too small (bloody tiny) for the phone camera to focus.
