I'm a Canadian moving to England. I'm writing this blog to reassure my family and friends that I'm still alive and to hopefully trick them into thinking I know what I'm doing with my life.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Well, obviously by being here I've missed my favourite holiday. I would totally sacrifice Christmas for Thanksgiving, but unfortunately Thanksgiving is just too soon for me to be flying home. I managed to hang out with two Canadians this weekend and yesterday I had dinner in a Canadian pub, so I feel that that's as close as I can get to a Thanksgiving here. I say that in the hope that you're all aware I can't cook, so cooking a turkey isn't an option. Also, what would I do with a giant turkey? If I were to make a whole turkey for myself I may as well just buy a cat and call it a day. My big attempt to do get a Thanksgiving meal item was asking my roommate if pumpkin pie is a thing here. It's not. They have pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks still, but no actual pumpkin pie. Why you gotta play me like that, London? I don't know why the Brits haven't jumped on board with a holiday that's dedicated to thanks and eating, but I'm thinking I should work on converting them for next year. Or I'll just fly home and get to eat pie. I did get to watch football and I got mashed potatoes and vegetables with my meal yesterday, so I didn't do too badly. My original plans were to sit at home sulking about the fact that I'm missing my favourite holiday, so I'm considering this alternate version a success. Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends! I hope you all enjoyed your delicious meals and pumpkin pie. Now that you know that pumpkin pie is a rare commodity you should all savor it more. Really appreciate what a luxury it is. Then tell me about it so I can live vicariously through you.
