Black Friday Eve

It has been a while since I lasted posted, unfortunately the mother of Lady Wuffinga became unwell and needed more care and attention than usual and coupled with an upturn in work commitments time has been at a premium. Now that the matriarch is a bit better, Lady Wuffinga  and I are now getting back to some sort of normality - what ever that is!

I have been into town twice over the last week and on both occasions it has been very busy, I did wonder if all these people were shopping or just doing a trial run as Black Friday is on its way, sussing out the shops advertising the biggest discounts and looking at the quality of the pavements so one can get a good pitch for queuing, preferably under a shops awning or where the puddles don't collect. Getting involved with the Black Friday frenzy is not for me, as there is nothing I would like better than to sit on a cold damp pavement on a November night waiting with a load of other people so I can get a couple of quid of a 'Teasmaid'.

I have considered alternatives such as Yellow Monday or Grey Wednesday. Yellow Monday being for those who want a colourful or arty shopping experience, wearing bright cloths such as mustard chinos or willow green and sun burst red shirts, and Grey Wednesday could be for the depressed who just want to buy pan scourers and wine gums. Do these days need a colour? how about Largesse Tuesday, where the shops put all there prices up by say 25% and give the extra cash to local food banks as it is coming up to Crimbo.
