After a thoroughly horrible, brutal and bruising September, I've emerged with one plan and one plan only... Halloween. We're celebrating all month again, as is tradition. We've got quite a few things planned this year, as well as hoping for a few surprises. And our first day of festivities was a pretty good one. Here's to more fun in October!
Crumpsall Park Litter-Pick
This morning started off with the monthly Friends of Crumpsall Park litter-pick. Not very Halloween-y, but certainly autumnal as we were rained off. I did spot my first mushroom in the park though, so that's certainly seasonal!
Ghost Earrings
New Halloween earrings! Got these little ghosts from Pure and Simple (aka Gillian).
31 Halloween Films: Trick ’r Treat
We made a list of our top 31 Halloween films to watch this October, and we're going to choose the order of them at random. The random number generator didn't steer us wrong though, as we started off with Trick 'r Treat, which is a pretty perfect place to begin.
Halloween Gingerbread
Halloween gingerbread movie snack! (From Morrisons, not homemade!)
31 Halloween Films: Scream
Next on our Halloween list was Scream. What's your favourite scary movie?
31 Halloween Films: Hostel
Bit of a change of pace with our next Halloween film... Hostel!
Spite Crumble
We've got a bramble in our back garden that is utterly impossible to control. It's taller than most of the trees, and as sinister as a triffid. It seems determined to grow in a way that blocks the back door and we've both nearly lost eyes to it on more than one occasion. Well, enough's enough. If the evil bramble is here to stay, it can work for its living. This year, I harvested every last berry from the evil bugger out of spite, and Rob cooked it with flour we got from Walk Mill at Lammas. The bramble grew a weird tentacle last night as some sort of retaliation (probably nothing to worry about), but tonight we dined on Spite Crumble!
Ghostwritten
I started off my Halloween reading this year with Ghostwritten by Ronald Malfi. Books, apparently, can be deadly.
