In the garden cutting the lawn in shorts & a t-shirt like it's June. Crazy weather.

I've never seen a lawn in shorts!

It's Halloween central on our street - a ton of kids dressed up, even some houses done up. So refreshing after the last street were no one bothered. Love it. :smile:

I'm in the no-one bothered camp! 2nd most over-rated night of the year, after New Year's Eve!

Love it. Kids were polite, no teenagers in shell suits, and MK Jnr loved every second - and even donated the sweets she got when we ran out. Better than Christmas :smile:

Almost the entire village we live in was out on the street last night. I took my kids out and my wife stayed at home to dish out the chocolates. It was fantastic. The atmosphere was amazing.

There were two minor issues for me though.

Firstly, as I got home from work and opened the front door a load of kids came up our steps (we have about 10-12 steps up to our front door) and shouted "Happy Halloween". I told them that unless they actually said "Trick or Treat" I'm not giving them anything. Come on, who says "happy halloween"? What a load of crap.

Secondly, as I was walking around with my kids, and some of their friends I overheard a conversation between a girl and her mother. The girl said something along the lines that they should have parked further up the road because that is where the best houses were. Given the entire area was giving out chocolates, and there was no need to be using a car, it did make me wonder just where they had come from. They certainly weren't local, they were just abusing other peoples' generosity.

No. I was taking the picture. I'm not good looking enough to be in it.

Spanish (or Catalan) twist.

Last year a couple of days before halloween, a couple of parents asked me to store a big bag of sweets in our hallway for their kids halloween party,which I did quite willingly.Must have been at least 20 or so kids turn up on the night.

We were away until yesterday afternoon so no repeat this year.They clearly do things differently in Catalonia.

Be careful.

I got my fingers burned when a neighbour asked me to fly suitcase back from Medellin.

Is Kodi working ok for you? I've got Krypton on a Amazon fire TV box and last night the app just wouldn't start? Annoying as I wanted to watch TWD

Spa day with my wife. The boys are going back to friends after school and we don't have to pick them up until 6.00pm tonight.

A quick run in the gym, and then nothing but sauna, steam room and jacuzzi for the rest of the day.
