A 5 shelf wire shelving unit to make a pantry in the kitchen.  PA doesn't know yet, but he'll find out tomorrow when he sees it in the car.

Went to Breda (a city 30/35 kms Eastwards from BoZ) by train today and bought myself some stuff.

A new pair of cool shoes, 3 pairs of trousers, a leather belt, a bag of holy shit and a hat. Oh, I bought a model of a 'Stuka' bomber* too. Well, it's in a box in still numerous little parts now, which I have to glue together in order to make it a Junkers Ju 87 soon. Loved doing that when I was a kiddo.

I got this in the mail today. I got it on amazon. I probably get a book a week, and it is usually under 10$ including shipping.

It's like a textbook actually. Pretty interesting

^Looks like that would be an interesting read.

I bought packing boxes, some tinned food and some frozen meals.

A bunch of stuff

A #5 Stanley wood plane
A machinist vise
A tool box filled with what I believe is small scale foundry tools
A 7 inch cast iron skillet
A Bakelite phone from about 1940

I used to think the same thing, but I can actually read faster on a Kindle and I always have tens of thousands of titles 30 seconds away.
