A quiet day at home. Kev received his new phone and just needs to wait for the new sim.
Kev went to clean the cloche with the Tim Holtz spooky manor scene in it and it broke. It had obviously gone brittle over the time. After a bit of searching online we found another at Argos, its slightly bigger so it will have to sit on the top of the bookcase when it comes, so we had another bit of a shift round. The globe I bought Monday replaced the cloche, the Haunted Mansion shelf has gained a Haunted House ( we can't buy a replica of the WDW one, but this one will suffice!) But it needs raising up, so Kev is going to paint some wooden blocks to give it height. No doubt he will construct something amazing.
As you may know I've been searching Tkmaxx for a Dracula picture to go with The Bride. There's non in the shops, and it looks like the scalpers are at it again as they are online for ridiculous prices. I don't give in to scalpers, and won't contribute to their greed. So, Kev found an alternative print online copyright free, he printed it off on some linen paper and I had a frame begging for a print. It looks fabulous, and if the other picture doesn't materialise, no worries. This is very Dark Shadows esque. And an Immortal that I wouldn't stake if he bit me... Passageway crumpet!
Tonight we lit all the candles, have a peacan pie candle under the warmer and the purple lights on in the gourds and dotted about. It's my idea of perfect.
Tomorrow I turn 63. Not bad when you think back when I was little the medical profession wrote me off as either dead by 20, or life without amounting to much. So I take every turn round the sun as an achievement and a raised finger to them...
