Went into town to meet Sue and Pete for lunch at the Slug and Lettuce in the Market Square. We nipped in TKMAXX for a last look round the Halloween section, as it is now turning rapidly into Christmas. It's always a little sad, when this happens,for us, not that we don't like Christmas, just that we both love Halloween so much. Anyway, I bought a pumpkin stack on a pedestal with glittery bats on it... Balances out the nosferatu chest of drawers in the bedroom as we have another pumpkin stack on a pedestal that Kev made from Pounland pumpkins a few years back...
Lovely to see Sue and Pete, talk about their holiday to Harrogate, Abigail's 18th, and the fact that her Mum got her a dog, strangely called Leonard ( which was our Dad's name!) And our plans for Christmas, which included a good laugh at last year's debacle with the board games, they were too complex and so this year I've bought a simple card game that I think even in a food coma we can manage.
After we left Sue and Pete we headed for Sherwood and Lidl. They have the Deady Bears that Kev bought me last year ( naturally in was Vambear, the dead Vampire bear) so because these were actually half the price of that one we got Bundle the Mummy this time. We also got a few treats for the party, some fruit, and a lantern ( metal and glass) that casts a spooky wood effect onto the wall when it's lit. That was also a bargain, as it was from the middle isle. Happy with our purchases we caught the buses back home, narrowly missing a bad cloudburst. After filling the Mummy sweetie jar, placing the other things in their respective places we lit the lights and candles making our little home the cosy spooky little haven that we love. As the nights get longer and darker I can't think of a better place to be.
