Apparently, Halloween is replacing Guy Fawkes night as a celebration in Britain.
Not here it isn't.
We have not celebrated today. We have not worn or eaten anything orange, neither have we brandished sickles or forks, thrown eggs nor terrorised elderly people.
On the other hand, we shall attend a Guy Fawkes party & light at least one sparkler on 5 Nov.
Today we went to Whitacre Garden Centre, bought shrubs & yet more winter pansies, shopped in Coleshill for bread, veg & lottery tickets, then spent the rest of the day, until dark, gardening.
We have cleaned up all of the leaves on site, planted a shrubbery at the top of the garden, trimmed the front hedge & G has mown the lawns & field.
I still have to plant the pansies.
Rain is forecast for tomorrow, followed by winter.
Shucks.
We may have won the lottery, we haven't checked.
If you can't get hold of us tomorrow you'll know that this is the case & we have jetted off to the sun. (not really. We'll put the heating on & have a take-away)
We have tickets for the Antiques show at the NEC tomorrow,followed by a party at DMP in the evening. (& those pansies to plant)

Playing 'church' is so yesterday, now we have spent the day playing 'At the Premier Inn reception desk'. Desk constructed in the hall, complete with telephone and till, and pilfered Premier Inn accessories. B not allowed to book into a room on his own, although he requested it. The spare room upstairs has been designated room 216 (the only room in T's hotel), and comes complete with travel cot for baby Annabel. If you eat at Pizza Express (in our dining room), you have to order the drinks first, as the waiter likes to come back to take the food order. Oh and you have to vacate the table by 8pm. Another day in our surreal life!

How much stuff did T manage to get under his coat?
g
Did he take the TV?
Lessons from W - he could "sleeve" a TV.
|TVs in church - noit a bad idea.
might liven up proceedings
