I went shopping for a while yesterday to the local mall, and things seemed fairly pre-Covid to me. Australia seems to have moved on more than the USA, and mask wearing is almost nonexistent. I’m still wearing mine, if only because I don’t want to risk catching it before I return!
The weather was beautiful, and the walk home from the mall was actually quite warm. Even so the Australians still talk about the cold, and it’s amusing how I seem to have adjusted to real cold compared to the brisk temperatures they find uncomfortable here 🙂
And then today, I went to visit Adam for some card flopping!
We played 12 games in total, using 4 decks each made from cards from two sets (Jumpstart and Crimson Vow). This was about 6 hours of Magic, and we’ve still got more packs to open, decks to build and games to play!
As usual Adam won virtually every game (he’s like a Magic AI) but it was great playing the game for the first time in years and catching up, and I’m already looking forward to our next games next week.
It was also relaxing to have a day where I didn’t walk 20,000 steps! It’s not as easy now as when I was a stripling 🙂
