45, 503 - It was sunny enough here that we got all the washing dried Although it might rain tomorrow as my Dad plans to do some gardening. It usually rains if he so much as *thinks* about doing gardening

45, 501 - I know how much you like your round numbers

45, 497 - Getting close to another nice round number

I received the art prints I bought at a virtual Star Wars convention at the start of this month. Both artists also included extra prints in the parcels as a thank-you present, which I thought was lovely of them. And the cards I wrote about in the previous post arrived on May the 4th

45, 496 - Evening counting. I've mostly spent today admiring my new art prints which arrived today Our Star Wars card trading group held a virtual convention over on FB from 2nd-4th of May and I bought 3 prints from two artists. Both of them also sent me extra prints as a thank-you gift. In the case of the John Wick print, the additional Yoda and Leia also made sure my parcel was Star Wars-relevant (although we *could* buy non-Star Wars art if we wanted).

45, 492 - Late afternoon counting. I've found my Spanish exercise book from my uni course and there's plenty of pages left, so I've done a couple of reading/comprehension exercises to start filling it up I also discovered I still have red and green pens that actually work

45, 490 - The theory with the cat is easier to understand Seriously though, such unclear guidelines are dangerous. I'm not going back to the library until all the MPs think it's OK to go and crowd back into Parliament. People are still catching this virus and dying from it - I don't want to risk being one of them. Or to risk anyone I know catching it.

45, 485 - Nearly tea-time counting. I'm determined that I *will* finish my current book today. So far, it's taken me at least a week to get halfway through.

45, 483 - Counting in here before I start counting my latest set of trading cards, which arrived yesterday. You have to applaud the postal service for managing to deliver my box of Star Wars cards... on Star Wars Day. I was able to open them in the middle of my annual film marathon And @peterferris8 I badly need to catch up with both Clone Wars and Rebels. Haven't seen any of either yet and haven't got Disney Plus.

I've been able to order a box of Star Wars trading cards that I didn't think were available over here in the UK. Now I just have to see how long it takes for them to arrive. I might consider them essential to my collection, but Amazon probably doesn't agree with me in the current climate. Although opening and sorting cards is a great boredom-buster

45, 479 - Same here @Malahide In the UK, we have probably the worst death toll in Europe And there are still people not obeying lockdown rules: one couple from my town drove over 80 miles to the Welsh coast the other day. A day out at the seaside does *not* count as an essential journey

45, 477 - Middle of the week counting. @caz63 Losing pets is always hard - especially when you've had them as long as that. We had our dog for 12 years and he was a rescue too. He grew from being the shy, quiet one at the rescue centre to being a loving, daft brush of dog. At least you know that yours had a lovely, happy life with you. Maybe some day you'll feel ready to do the same for another one *hugs*

I received my BluRay of the latest Star Wars film in this morning's post Nicely timed with May the 4th not far off...

45, 475 - I'm only listening to the news once or twice each day so I don't get overwhelmed. Currently feeling nice and epic as I'm listening to the Star Wars main theme/opening from The Last Jedi

45, 473 - Evening counting. @peterferris8 Wasn't it the last song that Joey listened to before he died? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I've been listening to my Latin music playlist today - and hearing songs I'd forgotten I even saved onto it
