I usually have a Friendsmas around mid december so excited for that!

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving where I am from but just reading about all your tasty meals makes me so excited for Christmas season!

Potatoes and gravy are the food of the gods!

I'm thankful for this time of year - there are so many holidays and it makes everyone grow closer. 

I've seen two episodes so far and I'm too afraid to go into the thread to spoiled for the next ones so I'll be soon and we can all chat. 

Veeeery interested to hear people's opinions!

We had plans tonight to sit down and watch all three episode but our internet is being funky. Of course, perfect timing haha. 

The advertising budget on this is actually insane - they must be so sure it's good. 

I can't wait!

I've got no idea who my grand-mentor is.

Mentor: blank

And you might say I have a mentee sister/cousin in Dar'Jen.

A Green Aes Sedai called PoetStorm was my mentor. If this helps with the history lesson haha. 

Treat! Always!

One of my favourite memories is when I was 5 I wanted to dress up as catwoman. I was determined catwoman could not have blonde hair like me, she had to be a burnette. So my mum got one of those wash in and wash out hairdyes.

Come to Halloween we had a party at school and your parent had to come pick you up. And I remember shouting and waving to get her attention, and it was like she could hear me but her eyes just kept passing over me and it was weird. Afterwards she had to admit she forgot that I wasn't blonde so she didn't recognise me haha. 

dramatic velvet robe, 

HALLOWEEN!

It is hard but I'm trying to do what I can.

There is a note in our building which you can leave details if anyone needs help if they are in self isolation - which we left our details. 

Making sure to check in with friends and family most days to make sure people don't feel socially isolated - just physically isolated. 

There has been a few small business in our neighbourhood that have had to close due to restrictions. They are offering gift cards for when they open again so they can still have some income during this time. Although our income has been affected, it's not as bad as other people so I've bought a couple of these to support our local businesses. 

If anyone has any other ideas, i'm definitely open to them!

Oh yes, one and all, it is that time of year again. Prepare to have your (brain's)tastebuds tickled, your puzzling brains awarded points, your heart warmed and to be hungrier than you've ever been.

The Browns would love to officially invite you to the years Chocolate Week over on the Brown board.

Very nice Elgee!

They do a similar thing here except with fancy buildings and what not. It's called Open Door week and buildings that would normally be closed to the public are open for tours etc. I always mean to remember it and every year I forget ? But I'm glad you and your sisters are taking advantage of it!

At first I thought this was a digital drawing, so now I'm even more impressed that you painted it!

You make very efficient use of your spare time haha
