well we had a handful of trick or treaters. more than last year. still have left over candy to deal with ... ugh

The weird thing was our neighbour, not the sharpest tool in the box, but always goes the extra mile to decorate the front of his house and garden at Christmas, big football matches (yawn), jubilees and of course, Halloween.
All week, he's had giant cobwebs and spiders, ghosts, pumpkins and lanterns.
Then on the big night itself, he switched off all his lights and lanterns and spent the evening sitting in his house completely ignoring halloween. Miserable old fella!

Some sort of communication cock-up between the supplier & fitter means that I'm still having to use waterproof gaffer tape over the hole in my old bath so I can have a shower - a new fitting appointment to install the new one has been made for Wednesday. I took my frustrations out on a bike ride despite the miserable greyness of the weather.

In better news the gig ticket was secured, hotel booked, solar panel deposit paid and insurance claim submitted, accepted and passed on for final approval.

One act drama festival was really good, although two of the plays were rather heavy and a wee bit disturbing in some way.

I got stuck in the middle of a row where nobody was moving at the end so got forced to listen to the expert dissect and critique the plays.

Morning.
I'm awake or I think I am! I can't remember much of yesterday apart from having naps. We did go to the chip shop though.

Today's 73 plate truck has 223488 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Meltin Mowbray, Loughborough and, next, Newark.

Another what we used to call a misty moisty morning but just low cloud and no fog. May brighten up later.
Really need to get out for a walk as I have been stuck indoors for a couple of days.

Made an error of judgement with the bathroom lights as the 50w ones are too bright and I should have had the 35w ones put in.
Difficult to tell what is a scam and what is not nowadays and you need to be alert all the time.
Got an email from the NHS telling me my account is being closed as I have not logged in for two years and just click here to reactivate it.
I did in fact log in a few months ago to rearrange my covid and flu vaccines but the email looks genuine. It will just be ignored it I think.
Ernie has coughed up £125 this month. Strange as I did not expect to get any results till Monday.

Is a café stop before the club ride acceptable because the rider is early and it's a bit cold?
