Thursday, May 22, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm (still raining lightly), got up once during the night (raining), got up again at 5am (when I returned to bed, I heard a bird tweeting some distance away), fell back asleep, finally getting up at 6:30 (rain had stopped).

I left the apt at 8:30, walked to the mall, recycled some plastic items, bought a 12-pack of toilet paper in Exito and took a seat in Urbania as they were opening for the day.

I had a latte while going through some chess information on …Bc5 in one of my English Opening books. I used ChatGPT to help me understand how to use the ChessBase app on my cellphone. It appears I may need a premium account to access my online database files from my cellphone.

I left at 10:30 and returned to the apt by taxi.

I downloaded the latest version of Stockfish – 17.1 and made it accessible for my ChessBase 16 analysis.

I blundered my queen against Mr_Blamo but I’ll find out in the next two moves if he sees it. He saw it. Now I’ve got a real fight on my hands.

We left the apt at noon and took a Didi to Santafe mall. This is how the atrium is currently set up:




Teresa checked out Zara then we had lunch in Il Forno. (She’s now discovered another restaurant with good salmon so we can eat here again.) I had their ground beef lasagna and we shared a bottle of water. The total check came to 106,309 pesos ($25.50).

She checked out a few other stores then we had lattes and shared a slice of cheesecake in Valentina’s. We stopped in Smartfit where she checked out a rumor that we could get a discount on our gym fee. Not true.

We returned to the apt by taxi.

I watched a little more of Juror #2 on Stremio, the news on IPTV, then read my Kindle as part of my pre sleep routine.
