shlomo Thirdwoe,
All we know is that they went to buy spices after the Sabbath ended, but nothing in the Aramaic tells us how long it took them to reach the merchant who sold them the spices, and then after that we have no information about what they did until daybreak (i.e. maybe on their way there they slept over at a friend's home or family member's home), we also know that back then they didn't have any cars, so they would have had to walk a great distance.
Please see my previous posts, as I answered this questions many times (i.e. in it is use as Friday and as "eve of ...") and I also gave the Aramaic meaning for each one of the verses in question in relation to the word 'ruvto in the Gosepl accounts.
P.S. Here's something you might want to try => Try finding a reference to "Day of preparation" in the Bible which is outside of the Gospels (i.e. in both the NT and OT.)
