I took our walker out and

waited for the #501 Capilano Moll bus. The bus was late but I had no difficulty getting around. I got my replacement Visa card, no problem. The walker was holding out good. I could have had the bank activate the card there, but I wasn't in a hurry. I caught my bus to my destination: a block North of the Bonny Doon Mall Value Village. I was home in ten minutes.  

In the main they were playing horse racing. It's a boad game of some sort. About 8 players. I met one of our neigbors across the hall, Irene, who casually knew Anne. She mentioned that they play rummy (card game) in the main floor 3 days/week. While I've never played, something to do during the day. 

Anne went and retrieved this 3 foot bag of lights cables etc from the closet. We needed a kitchen stepper to access it. My Switch items were not thhere. I needed the AC charging cable and the joy icons holder. Hours later I had to order the charging cable for the Switch 1 from Amazon. I don't have Switch 2. The joy con holder was in another box. The charging adapter will be here by Sunday. I managed to activate my Visa, do we're all good in that deparment. Anyway, that's all for now.

Still in the heat wave

that was here since Monday. Every day was a +30° min to +33°C. Right now its +31°C. Tomorrow should be a "cooler" +28°C🙄This is the 5 day forecast. No rain in sight.

Today marks the obscure holiday observance of "According to Hoyle Day," in honor of Englishman Edmond Hoyle whose name became synonymous with his rules and regulations for various card games. Hoyle died on today's date in 1769.

Tomorrow is WWE's "Clash in Paris." It's on Netflix, so I'll be able to catch it. Anyway, that's all for now.
