Good mornin' all
First thoughts are with baby. Hope all goes well.
And hope that all you out on the West side of the Atlantic are safe.
Fireworks started going off in our village last week (if not sooner) and no doubt will continue 'til Easter, at least. You only know, of course, because you hear the bangs and whizzes - we don't SEE anything. I pity the sheep, not to mention pets and other animals, and the birds - hope they don't fall out of their trees in fright.
And one of our favourite cafes is so full of ridiculous Halloween junk hanging up that I won't go there till it's all over - it just puts me off my coffee. Forget lunch: you might mistake the ketchup for the blood dripping from the severed head's neck!
By the time it's all taken down (well, nearly all), it'll probably be closed for winter not opening up til Easter.
Then the staff in another of our favourite cafe's decided to call everyone 'my darling' every time they speak to you. Urrrrghhhh....
Oh, dear, and I hoped to cheer you up. Another day, perhaps...Oh, yes. Today is wet and windy. That maybe good, though - it might keep the trick or treaters indoors tonight.
Enjoy your day.
