Aldi, a white stag, Legos, and more; a Friday list.

Happy first Friday of November!

I so enjoy November for the cooler weather, the bluer sky, the closeness to Christmas, and for being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. I have a smattering of things for you to check out today. As always, I hope that you find something to enjoy. Have a restful, enjoyable weekend.

I’ve also included some pictures from my recent vacation. The bumblebee you’ll see seemed to be frozen to the flower and according to the lady that owned the store, in the summer you can pet the bees they are so docile.

 One last thing, don’t forget that Daylight saving time is this weekend in the US. So, we “gain” an hour.

• Why Is Aldi So Cheap and Successful? | WSJ The Economics Of - YouTube, We finally have an Aldi as of this Summer and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Specifically for the meat!

• Amazon.com: LEGO Icons Tiny Plants Building Set, Cactus Décor Gift Idea for Flower-Lovers, Carnivorous, Tropical and Arid Flora, Build and Display, Botanical Collection, Creative Building Sets for Adults, 10329 : Toys & Games, I received the bonsai tree several years ago and so enjoyed building it. These tiny plants are so cute.

• Amazon.com: LEGO Icons Tranquil Garden 10315 Creative Building Set, A Gift Idea for Adult Fans of Japanese Zen Gardens and Meditation, Build-and-Display This Home Decor Set for The Home or Office : Everything Else, definitely need to add this to my Christmas list. It is beautiful!

• The Crucial Difference Between Distraction and Diversion (nirandfar.com), in all honesty I have never thought about the difference between these two words. Nir clarifies them well and also clarifies which is “bad” and which is “good” to experience.

• Giant white stag made of boulders re-emerges on Aberdeenshire hill - BBC News, this is incredible! Originally built more than 150 years ago, the stag has been built again.

• Home Free & Brooke Eden - Delta Dawn - YouTube, I have loved this song since I first heard it. This is a great cover.

•  C.Debussy - Clair de Lune, Maria João Pires live at Jardin Musical - YouTube, perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music….there is something hauntingly sweet, bittersweet in its beauty. And in Maria’s hands, it’s exquisite.

• THE LAST RIFLEMAN Trailer (2023) Pierce Brosnan - YouTube, this looks to be a really good film. Supposedly based on this story here.

• Leo | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube, this looks like a lot of fun. “an animated musical comedy about the last year of elementary school as seen through the eyes of the class pet, jaded 74 year old lizard Leo.”
