reminder : Saint Nicolas arriving tomorrow (saturday 14-11)
That’s the original, not the impostor who uses child slave labour that arrives somewhere before Christmas … 😉

1) You did get all your Christmas presents for your loved ones by now, yes?
Nope, not even sure if and when we do anything.
My parents are getting too old to travel and with the Event there’s no way we’d risk anything at this point.
Already had to improvise a way to get a present to my nephew and niece for their birthdays in september.

2) What hyped/famous/popular tabletop miniature wargame has disappointed you the most and why?
I never am one to follow hypes or trends … so I’m rarely dissappointed (or overly excited).

3) Are you going to have big Christmas dinners? Family zoom meetings? Or just shut all windows and remain indoors with your immediate family?

See (1) … Christmas dinners never were that fancy anyway, so not much is lost.
We’ll have to see what we can do by that time. I do want to visit my parents if at all possible.

Or rather … the first big box. I think there’s a wave 2 too.
However they could not have picked a worse delivery company (FedEx/TNT).
Those guys are still transitioning into a single company, which means f*ck ups happen.
This time the I got a note from TnT with a FedEx reference number.
As such I couldn’t find anything on the TnT site and only found it on the FedEx website, but had to call them to do so (navigate a dumb menu that asked for a tracking number and wait … ).

Now to find a way to get the big box of goodies home, because my trike kind of  lacks cargo capacity for a 17 Kg big box … something I really need to fix.

Anyways … music …
