The last thing you bought?

Yes, I bought the new Zelda game today. I couldn't resist and I'm willing to give it a shot.
 
My dad last year abroad opened a children's playground in my name abroad. He felt moved to do it. I was shy and couldn't understand it properly and felt they needed the money to eat first. It has taken me one year to understand it. I decided to join him with it this year as this year he will be going abroad again and I gifted this for the playground for the children idea just yesterday. It will be shipped directly abroad and it was such a good idea my dad had. He bought a much bigger trampoline for the real playground and this is just for a school. Not a massive one, but it will do as an additionally me joining my hands with my dad with it. All children world over need to play.
I just looked on Amazon yesterday and I picked one up for £20 lower price in a flash sale. It even had a green trim which is my favourite colour. I cannot wait to the children get it.

I got a new minimalist wallet. The pen and key chain are also new in the last week. Can you guess my favorite color? These are what I have on my every day and if I even forget one item I feel off the entire day. Pocket knife, keys, wallet, pen. I'm on the hunt for a refillable lighter to add to the collection.

A new logitech mouse. Really like this one for two reasons, the first is you can connect to three different computers and switch back and forth between them as if they were one. Really handy as both at work and at home I run multiple computers. This one I picked up for my work office but I have the same at home. The second thing I love is that button below the scroll wheel. It is a lock for the scroll. When locked the scroll wheel works like normal. When unlocked the scroll wheel spins freely so if you need to scroll through a large document you can go really fast.

Friction disc rubber for a snow blower friction disc.

It's that time of the year again. 😑

Im a little jealous. The snowblower I have is me. Managed to convince my Father to let me purchase a ride on lawn mower last year, which only took me 24 years of my adult life to convince him it was a good idea on a multi acre property. Maybe this winter I can convince him to let me buy a snowblower as well. He's odd in his resistance to both. Some part of his ego is threatened as if he's admitting that at 76 he's not as capable as he was in his younger years. "It's good exercise" he says. Well if it was good exercise why have I been the one out shoveling and mowing?

Tell him that if a job can be done faster, that's saved time that can be used on other things. Better things. And when it comes to snow shoveling, the faster the better. No one should spend hours breaking their backs on that. ☃️ Heart attacks and broken backs, that's the result of shoveling snow with the wrong equipment.

Again he has some very irrational thought processes. Not sure what ND blend he has but he's certainly there somewhere and he knows it too. He just figures he's too old now to bother getting tested. But he's was also raised by a Mother who went through the Great Depression and that cheap mentality rubbed off on him. And as I mentioned above, he claims he doesn't want either because he likes the exercise but then he gets me to do both.

Yeah I understand. When he says he likes the exercise, he means that he likes that you get the exercise. 🙂 Good luck with the shoveling, I hope you get some better equipment.

Between you and I, and I can't take a photo of it, but I've arranged for a local contractor to come in this winter with a tractor and clear the majority of the driveway so I'll just have to finish up around the cars and the front steps. I've not told Dad. He's going to find that one out after the first snow fall. I'll deal with his reaction when the time comes.
 
A new wide brimmed hat to try to protect myself from the sun. I developed an allergic reaction to the sunscreen I’ve been using for years. ☹️
 
I just ordered a waterproof case for my cell phone, water shoes, and some mineral based sunscreen. I'm going to Panama City, Florida (not impacted by the hurricane) in a couple of weeks. We have a friend who owns a condo right on the beach and he lets us stay there in the off-season as long as we pay the maid! I'm going to be lazy by the sea for a week.
