To those of us in the US, I hope your enjoying your turkey, stuffing, yams, and time with friends and family. This year I’m joining some friends and I’m bringing the yams and sparkling wine.

It’s also a good time to reflect on how good we have it, however, rather than just being vaguely “thankful” (or thanking mythical creatures that had nothing to do with it), actually thank people for what they’ve done for you.

So, to all my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving. To the rest of you, happy Thursday, except for the Australians, in which case have a good Friday morning.

Thank you for reading.
