Aye, happy Turkey Day to all our US bretheren. May your bellies be full of all the good Thanksgiving day foods (mmmm, candied yams *drool* ) and your bladders bursting from alcohol intake [y][y]

Oh, and happy shopping day for tomorrow too :D

Cheers

Poor Turkeys. I feel really sorry for them.

99



No worries here 99--Tofurkey for us this year by offspring's orders. No birds were harmed in the making of this dinner... although rifle shots rang out loudly in the blizzardy Thursday dawn as our host's camouflage- dressed country neighbors shot (sitting)lake feeding ducks for their Tgiving tables.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Thank you for such kind words - its a pity the UK has not taken up the spirit of Thanksgiving rather than the "Trick or Treat" habit which has turned the night into one of the most anti social events of the year[:(!][:(!]

Correct me if I am wrong, but is not the case that post Thanksgiving, the primary activity is shopping[:w][ii][:?]

Right you are, Buns. Shopping is the name of the game. In the US today is known as "Black Friday" on account of the crowds that go in the stores as early as midnight just to find bargains. I am in Palm Springs this weekend and one of the largest discount malls on the West Coast is about 25 minutes from here, in Cabazon, right off the Interstate 10. You'd have to be a fool to go anywhere near that spot today.

We are far from black friday malls--visiting in upstate new york which features caribou heads framing local pub walls. No one ventures out for a walk unless s/he is dressed in orange. Thanksgiving here is liberally interpreted as a national holiday to shoot things despite heavy snowfall (a foot last night).

Working hard to ensure that is not me nor mine.

[y][y][y] Well said buns. To my horror the rear admiral layed out a trick or treat table full of goodies and games this year. I couldn't see the point, until I realised the game was bobbing for cooking apples from the garden. One by one she forced the kids (You don't argue with the RA)to bob into this green liquid, only to get a bitter bite of bramley. She still won't tell me what was in the green gunge, but I have a feeling we won't be bothered next year. Not sure how popular we are with the village parents.

Glad to see you didn't end up stuffed on a plate Roadrunner, beep beep!

Buns,
Come to Palm Springs during the winter or spring when the weather isn't so hot. Would be great to see you. I bet that Jetwet1 and Jenn would hook up with us for dinner.
