We actually got trick-or-treaters this evening: two little girls, who
redcountess said looked eight and ten (dressed up, too), with their mother
watching from the gate. Liz answered the door wearing her £1 witch's hat
from Whitby and gave them assorted chocolates from the fluffy
carry-pumpkin we got from Asda last year. The kids were very polite and not
greedy. After all the preparation,
spreading the gospel of the inner seven-year-old made Liz's night :-) Later
we got a couple of teenage girls, not dressed up but happy to nicely accept
sweeties.
I should note that Liz's wifi portfolio came with a stick of rock. Seasonal, I presume.
I tried sticking the shower head mount up this evening. Liquid Nails failed to stick to either the chromed plastic of the mount or the tiles on the wall in any way whatsoever. Feh.
I popped over to
arkady's and topped up the water for the
flytraps. Her next dollie has arrived, without Customs whacking
on about twice its value in duty! It looks like the secret is: (1)
mark it "TOYS" (2) scrawl the value unreadably. It could have said $296, $96, ¥96 or 96 light years.
We lit a tealight lantern out the back and toasted absent friends. We couldn't get any mead (this is Walthamstow) so we had Waggledance instead. Well, it's honey. I think most of the friends would have appreciated the beer more.
Tomorrow, Liz being well, I shall stop in at not-M:Alice. I shall
probably *pint* and feed
kekhmet beforehand. Meg, wear as goth
as you can to work!
