Ride in the woods 🙂 better than a que/fight for a bargain bowler hat with sleeves.

Anyone else out for a ride today?

See you all later. May by with a few pix, show me yours if you ride.

Internet shopping, no elbows, serious bargains means big profit for moving on via eBay.

Bought a couple of items this morning that will net me circa £900 profit.

There was only one thing I wanted in the online Black Friday sales (A Canada Goose Vest) and nobody's got any offers on it. Oh well, better than getting punched in Tescoes over a microwave I suppose.

I notice Tom Cruise incognito in a Teletubby onesie, top right in Scuttlers pic. I would've thought his butler would be on the case instead.

But seriously, watching the chaos in certain stores on the news a few mins ago - I feel embarrassed for some folk.

Thanksgiving is a pretty nice holiday, really. Non religious, everyone can join in and it is, in essence, about being grateful. Not about some bird who got knocked up and came up with a very dodgy story to cover her tracks. We did it last night (and will be doing it tonight too) but my wife's American.

I don't think it will become a thing over here, it's too specifically rooted in America's (and Canada's, in October) history to apply to any other nation. We could do with a good secular celebration over here, though.

The biggest downside I can see to Thanksgiving is that the food is revolting! Sweet potato mash baked with marshmallows, green beans baked with mushroom soup and canned fried onions and a pumpkin pie made out of homogenous canned pumpkin. I've done 6 thanksgivings now and am just about able to stomach that stuff...

In Canada they had Wings Wednesday,

much better, consume as many chicken wings as possible for not much money.

It's it about celebrating a meal that the Native Americans put on for the settlers - well before they returned the favour by killing them all and stealing all their land?

Perhaps a fight over stuff is apt way to mark it?

Ha! I was wondering if we would be racing others to the bothy, the forecast looks suspiciously... good? 😯

We should have a head start anyway, facing the drive along Loch Arkaig tonight!

Sgurr na Ciche and the Big Rough Breast for us I think

Black Friday?

Another irritating American import intended solely to fuel rampant consumerism.

Not really more to do with the harvest, though most people seem to link it with the above which if you ask me was genocide but I digress.

Well that's all very nice but why not just revert to our pre-existing mid Winter celebrations that Christianity decided to co-opt. We don't need any imports.
