Although I am based in London, most readers of the blog are from the States – and everybody around the world probably knows it is a very important day for Americans: Thanksgiving!
Traditionally, it is a time to express gratitude and I’d like to express a big thank you to all the readers of the blog. I really appreciate the like-minded interaction that blogging brings.
So I have decided to keep this post light-hearted – in these times of “holiday” – with a topical early “Friday Funny”: a suggestion for an alternative to the sacred turkey maybe ;-)
So: Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! Maybe some related recommended reading for Thanksgiving weekend:
