Cam ein here this evening really just to read few blogs, not having any clue what to post myself.
You know how you get days like that? Nothing seems to quite give the required level of inspiration.

Carved three pumpkins with the kids after school which is about as far as we go with the Hallowe'en thing. I don't have a problem with the marking of All Hallows Eve and all that (though I can understand some more evangelical Christians than I have issues) but as with everything else these days I think it has just become a farce and an excuse for commercialism and parties.
Why do people need excuses for a party? If you want a party, just have a party?
There is just so much mundanity to escape from these days I suppose.
People in general seem to have such empty lives. I really can't understand it.

What exactly is Hallowe'en a celebration of?
Tomorrow is Alll Saints Day. So is tonight the last night that the ghosts and spirits and evil nasties can 'safely' wander the earth? And we light pungkins sic to keep them away?
But now the lighted pumpkin is a symbol that we re "in" and its OK to come trick or treating?
Provided you make an effort to actually dress up and are under about 10 years of age. No cheap 50p masks one between three hooded oiks.
But then we had three ?teen year old girls at the door, one in a ridiculous black cats suit and one in red horns.

Chavs, right? They are a total f*king blight on society, but some of them look bloody marvellous
