Weekend in Qatar. Friday /Saturday. Saudi still has Thursday/Friday weekends but other Gulf countries shifted as they lost too much business with others that have Sat/Sun weekends.Thank you very much - slow day at the office?

OKAY, then we have this:
blackleg - one who continues to work when others are working or who takes over someone else's job
The origin appears to be an ancient antipathy to the rook or crow because of its ravenousness and its feeding off cornfields. 'Rook' was initially a term of abuse or disapproval and in the 16th century came to mean a cheat, anyone who took advantage of others or lived on his wits. As the rook is black and has black legs, swindlers/rooks became known as blacklegs; it was then natural to use the same term for strike-breakers, who were believed to be cheating their fellows. This is the sense that has stuck, while the previous ones have disappeared.
...The American rookie (novice) is someone inexperienced enough to be easily rooked or taken advantage of. Thus an everyday term in modern American football has its origins in the cornfields of medieval England.

Enough people with similar approaches.
Other threads have discussed going to film for "learning curves" but consider a one lens outing. If you only have a zoom, fix it at one length (a large rubber band will stretch and wrap around the zoom ring and body, no need for sticky tape).
For those who have not yet done this, you will learn a new approach to how you shoot.

She is beautiful! Both of you must be very proud parents.
I notice that the cat wanted in on the shoot as well.
Bad news is that you'll need another camera body as the shutter count on your K20 probably wont see the first year out!!
