It's summer, and seeing cows on socks reminds me that I need to stock up on hay. Every year it gets harder to find hay. The people who hay around here are generally old men and the younger generation either don't want to or can't afford to do it (or they charge ridiculous amounts... $300... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – July 2023 (Men’s)
I don't know why, but every time I see these socks I think they're sloths. I know they are ducks, but my brain always thinks sloths first. I really like the colour palette of this pair. It's very pleasing to my eyes. I almost wish it was my pair and not Tony's. Friday Sock Co... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – June 2023 (Women’s)
At the time of writing it is another miserable day in June, reminiscent of winter except for the fact that everything is very green. It's also quite overgrown since my lawnmower broke down (again).

Friday Sock Co – June 2023 (Men’s)
'Tis the season to be camping falalalalalalalala. Actually, I don't really like camping all that much. I love being outdoors.

However, considering the fact that they didn't even notice that they hadn't sent the... Continue Reading →
Sockbox – June 2023
So we still haven't gotten our socks from May yet. We got the new underwear, which was great, but the socks sadly never arrived. I e-mailed Marshall, and it took 4 days to get a response. He tried to clarify that they were to come separately, so I had to e-mail back and reiterate that... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – May 2023
It's May and we've got a pair of socks with very fall colours and a nod to Canadiana with maple leaves and poutine. Odd time of year methinks, but I'll take it. I think most of the world forgets about Canada, even Canadians ourselves, which is part of the reason I started this blog. Having... Continue Reading →
