Happy Ha'llo'w'een

I like Halloween. It's got atmosphere and calls for half lights and warm drinks and spooky films and snacks. Or it does this year, in our flat. A quieter Halloween than previous years for me and Mario - part of the reason I like Halloween is down to Mario - it's his birthday tomorrow and because he loves horror and pumpkins and the whole thing we embrace it as part of his birthday-ness.


Here's the obligatory pumpkin-looks-like-it's-your-head photo of me from this year:



This is Mario doing the same last year




And from Halloweens past


Me, in the centre, with the luverly Patricia and Kathy




The year I was Regan from Exorcist - complete with pea-soup stained nightie and chewing gum stuck on my face for demonic scratch marks....


Mario went as (deep breath) A drag queen who had been killed by another drag queen while getting ready for a show... easier to make sense of in this photo

please note the stiletto-through-the-heart method of death.




Me and this year's pumpkin wish you a Happy Halloween

Having a Hallowe'en birthday really brings a whole new twist to "many happy returns".
