Today was a
very busy day, involving four different outfits and two different wigs. It was a good day.
Bailey’s Wood Litter-Pick
This morning started off with the monthly
Friends of Bailey's Wood litter-pick. As is tradition, we dressed up for October litter-pick. And, as is also tradition, we (or maybe that should be I) tried to make our costumes as unsettling as possible.
Christmas Duck
One of the guys on the litter-pick presented me with a present this morning. He said, "I know you're into your ducks," and I think this is because my little Halloween ducks have been turning up at various events. Then he told me he'd found this one in his garden one day, and I could have it for when we start celebrating Christmas. I love my little garden duck!
Mouse and Chocolate Owls
A present from my mum!
Hannah’s Bookshelf Halloween Special
This afternoon was the annual
Hannah's Bookshelf Halloween Special on
North Manchester FM, featuring seasonal flash fiction from this year's
3 Minute Scares entries.
Abominable Books
Also on my radio show today, I opened my October box from the
Abominable Book Club. I got
Disturbance by Jenna Clake and
Coup de GrĂ¢ce by Sofia Ajram, plus a tote bag, popcorn and a few other treats.
Bailey’s Wood Horror Walk
Then it was to the woods for the
Friends of Bailey's Wood evening event... Saturday the 26th - Horror in the Woods. I led some brave souls through the forest, telling stories of other realms, vengeful trees, and why you should never book a cabin in the woods on Airbnb.
L is for The Loved Ones
Back home, we continued our horror A-Z with
The Loved Ones.
M is for The Menu
And then we rounded off the day with
The Menu.
