The trick-or-treaters have begun arriving. One small witch demanded Haribo. I offered her a marron glacé. Neither of us concealed our disappointment.

In Mark Tansey’s oil painting, a woman in evening gown, hands on hips, waits impatiently as her escort fumbles with the keys for an overgrown pillared gate (The Key, 1984). The lighting is stark, almost photographic. Oddly, the gate recalls Ghiberti’s 15C Gates of Paradise

Ernst Jünger wore an English field coat purely because he thought it looked cool, unconcerned about the risk of being shot by his own troops. He gets shot. Yet he still considered it worth it and refused to elaborate.

Well, we’ve come through the storms, relatively unscathed (thank goodness) and Ronald and the gang are busy smoothing down ruffled feathers this morning.

I know it’s Halloween but I feel like dentists don’t really need to be doing all that

When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here’s what she said to me. You’ll be late.

I saw a little girl dressed up as a bee keeper at trunk or treat AND SHE HAD HER GUINEA PIG IN A TINY PORTABLE CAGE AND IT WAS WEARING A BEE COSTUME.

Cheering myself up with some Round the Horne: “Kiss me, Hardy” “I can’t, sir, my lips are chapped” “Well one more chap won’t hurt”

One of my favourite long gone internet things was a blog rating every cravat in the Amicus movies
31 Days of Halloween: the Amicus anthologies (1964-1973). Having these play all day today. A new story every time I walk in and out. A marathon of one of my favorite things in the world.

Lucy implored me to embrace spontaneity. Accordingly, I have pencilled it in for Thursday.

A final look at the pretty hues on display here on the north Cornish coast, as I enjoy a week of simple needs away from home. A restful Saturday night to you 🙋‍♀️☺️

the vampire bat has a scary name but does much good, eating up to twice its weight in vampires every year
