I have a friend who once told me that she liked Perth because it was like being in the U.S. I can see her point with that most days but today I beg to differ. I just called the butcher to confirm that my turkey would be ready for pick-up on Saturday and that it will be frozen. He didn’t even need to ask my name, he just said yes, that they would be getting it in on Friday mid-day. I guess I’m the only one in the area who ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving?
I know it’s a little early to pick-up a turkey the Saturday before Thanksgiving but the butcher is only open from 9-5 Monday through Saturday and it takes me forty minutes to get there from my office.
Additional things that remind me that I’m not in the U.S. this Thanksgiving:
- Our $10 a can pumpkin puree from David Jones’ food hall. The pumpkin pie and bread will be worth every cent.
- 26 - 30° Celsius weather and the fact that I’m sharing the weather in Celsius.
- Thursday, November 24th being a normal work day. It looks like H and I will be eating our Thanksgiving feast very, very late at night.
Happy (early) Thanksgiving from down under! As late as H and I may eat on Thursday, our dinner will still be finished before any turkeys hit the oven in the U.S.
