Freezing outside - but I have a nice hardwood fire going on the firepit/grill - waiting for a nice bed of coals, then some more fire roasted sweet potatoes. Aka batata halwa. Would have taken too long to do the turkey.

I bet you could publish a book of actual excuses received over the years.
Very true - parents unintentionally say the funniest things.
I remember am information form coming back for one boy in my class years ago, and in the section asking for medical details and allergies etc his mum had just written 'No nuts' :eek:
We assumed he was allergic to them but maybe not - none of us were about to check!:D

In German we have a saying: Unkraut vergeht nicht.

I don't do black Friday here either. It has made its way over the Atlantic despite us not doing
Thanksgiving.

i don't bother with Black Friday either.
There was a report this week saying that many places have sold items cheaper throughout the year so it can be a bit of a con with some unscrupulous retailers.

I’m encouraging them for wildlife now
I collect and scatter my dandie seeds too.
It drives me mad that our council cut back all the grass and flowering weeds in the late spring just when they attract insects which then affects birds etc and along places like river banks and canals where people like to see the wildlife. They could save money if they left it too.

Hope your turkey dinner was lovely! :)

I think I know why it’s called Black Friday.

First of all, and I’m speaking from experience as an international student back in 2006, you have to get up very early if you’re to get any deals at all. In fact it was so early when we got up, it was pitch black outside. I’m sure all others do that too, because when we got to the mall of our choice, and the sky was still pitch black (it was a cloudy night), a long line had already formed.

And the second reason are all the black eyes people give each other when fighting over that last item in stock. A very aptly named day! Seen it all.

........and if it's very cold you may also slip on the black ice!!
