Last year was interesting. Hopefully this year will be as much fun.

I thought I would select a suitably spooky track. I’d forgotten this song existed until I saw Donnie Darko. A classic from the 80s with hair styles to match. It takes me back to my college days.

The line “Fate, up against your will” has been the theme of my adult life. But, I’ve survived the horror show. I am living the life I choose to live. I am happy doing so.

Screw fate!

It has gradually become important, to adults as well as kids. For the past five years or so my local pub, The Red Lion, has marked Halloween with a fancy dress night. If the idea is to get punters in the pub it works for me. Kev Thomas phoned up and we went out to see who had dressed up as what.

I managed to remember to take a few photos.

At the end of the evening my friend Clare tells me her has missed her last train. I think she had probably drank a bit too much for her own good. Anyway she tells me she was was staying overnight with these three guys, but she “barely knows them.” So obviously I offered to put her up for the night.

Luckily her boyfriend was willing to drive down the pub and pick her up, which was nice of him.

I do not think he was very pleased though.
