Friday, Friday so glad it's Friday!

Except, honestly, there really isn't much a difference between weekdays and weekends for me.

So, the Friday Five is obviously aimed at those who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday.  Considering I'm a Canadian, I didn't.  I am going to answer anyway.


The Friday Five for 24 November 2023

1. What did you eat on Thursday? Lunch was soup/salad/sandwich.  Supper was Mushroom, Garlic and Something Pasta.   Something because the original recipe calls for shrimp, but I use what we have and last night there was leftover sausage to use up.

2. How many miles (kilometers) did you drive on Thursday? 0  Didn't even leave the house.

3. How many relatives did you see on Thursday? I was going to say 0 but as my youngest lives here (and so do the cats) that would be rude!  So one or three if you count the cats.

4. What did you wear on Thursday? Nothing special, but might need a bit of backstory.  Winter is here, I run cold and my studio space runs colder (and my space heater quit earlier this week), hence the need to bundle up even inside.  Toe up - 2 pairs socks one cotton, one hand-knit wool, slippers; leggings as long underwear with athleisure pants over; cotton cami top, long sleeve knit pullover, hip length sweater (no closures so I used a shawl pin to hold it closed) and a mid-thigh hand-knit cardigan.  When I got really cold, I wrapped a blanket around my waist and wore it like a skirt.

5. Are you planning to buy anything in particular on Friday? Nope, nyet, nada!   We do need new computer speakers (as of yesterday)  and probably should replace the space heater, but there is no way I'm dealing with the madness of Black Friday.  Hopefully there will still be a few specials/sales next week.

As an aside, Black Friday sales and the attending madness was not always a thing here.  I honestly can't remember when that started.  Traditionally the big sale day was Boxing Day (December 26th).  We still do have Boxing Day (or week) sales, though I'm not sure which actually has the better deals. I seriously avoid going shopping during either period.
