It was Friday, under the sign of Scorpio (see zodiac on November 1, 2013). The US president was Barack Obama (Democrat), the UK Prime Minister was David Cameron (Conservative), Pope Francis was leading the Catholic Church. In that special week of November people in US were listening to Royals by Lorde. Frozen, directed by Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, was one of the most viewed movies released in 2013 while One Summer by Bill Bryson was one of the best selling books. On TV people were watching Hinterland. If you liked videogames you were probably playing Ducktales : Scrooge's Loot or Blek.
