LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 11: Black Monarch’s Ghost (6034), 1990. What’s not to like about a mounted knight and a glow-in-the-dark ghost minifig? I guess the dark gray parrot is supposed to be a hawk.

LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 10: Smuggler’s Hayride (1974), 1989. Another Forestmen set. I like the peasant minifig.


LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 9: Forestmen’s Hideout (6054), 1988. On to Castle sets! Forestmen totally weren’t Robin Hood & his merry men. This tree fort opened up on hinges.



LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 8: Skeleton Crew (6232), 1996. Another small pirate set. I dig the skeleton in the Conquistador helmet.

LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 7: Pirate Mini Figures (Sea Mates) (6251), 1989. Continuing the Pirate theme, this minifig pack came with three pirates and two Imperial soldiers. Captain Red Beard with his hook hand and pegleg is one of my all-time favorite minifigs.

Since yesterday Switzerland has more confirmed coronavirus cases per capita than Italy (and we reached this point faster). That’s the highest in the world of countries with population > 1M. We’re also #8 in the world for total cases despite the country’s relatively small size.
Days since having to revert to Xcode 11.3: 0 🤬
LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 6: Ship in a Bottle (21313), 2018. The new Pirates set LEGO announced yesterday reminded me of this fun set.

Finally upgrading to Catalina. Wish me luck!
