Another day mostly spent sorting Magic cards, like yesterday. I completed a set of cards and put them neatly into an old shoebox. They fit with a little space left over, so I filled it with basic land cards. I didn’t count the cards, but measuring the piles and dividing by the known thickness gave me an estimate of close to 2500 cards that I’ll be giving to this boy.
This morning I picked up the groceries. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I’ve been ordering everything but fresh fruit and vegetables online, to make it fast and easy to pick up, but when I get there I grab fruit and vegetables myself. I tried ordering those as well, but found I wasn’t happy with the produce they selected for me. Today I grabbed the usual apples and bananas, and also more mangoes, which continue to be cheap and abundant. So far we’ve had R2E2 and Calypso mangoes, so today I grabbed some Honey Gold variety.
At lunch I drove to my wife’s work with Scully and a large package that we’d picked up at the post office yesterday. It’s for her boss, and it was heavy, full of books, so she didn’t want to have to carry it to work herself. She got to finish work at midday today, being the last day before the Christmas break. So we drove from there over to the Naremburn bakery to ave lunch and pick up a dozen fruit mince tarts – some for us and some for her family.
This evening I did a 2.5k run. I’m now up to a total of 497.5 km for the year, which means my next run will tick the total over to 500.
Tonight is online board games night with my friends. I’ve lost badly at two games of Jump Drive, but managed to win the last one. And we’re now deep into a game of Ticket to Ride.
