Halloween! and the state I’m in I won’t need a costume. I could go successfully dressed as a Mad axe man covered head to toe in wood clippings and sawdust.
I guess from now on it’s downhill to Christmas. I will miss all the bombardment of Slade, Wizard, Wham and Jona Lewie that dominates the airwaves in the U.K.
I have been trying to find out what Christmas music is played in the store here. From what I can understand America reverts back to the fifties, with people like Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Connie Francis, so I can expect a world of black and white.
I wanted to start a new tradition over here of having a bonfire party with bangers and mash, but had to settle to booze and nibbles. I think the locals have to be brought in slowly, especially with vegan sausagess, too much change might cause anxiety, or a dose of the trots.
I bought a game called “Cards Against Humanity, and it’s not to be played with your parents, or members of the cloth. It can be a bit raunchy, but you get to know your friends a bit better.
The game, the drink and the smoke from the fire all made for an hilarious evening.
Another Lifetime to go
