Hallowe’en is here again.  Hurrah!  The best reason to buy pumpkins, ever.  I used to hate trick or treat, now I love it.  We get troops of lovely, polite little kids in fancy dress who marvel at the carved lanterns (if I manage to do that this year) and get all goggle-eyed at the big bowl of proffered sweets (while their parents hang back, murmuring “Don’t take too many”).

I know I promised a ghost story this time last year, or maybe at Christmas, but I never managed to follow through, did I?  Well, I’m scribbling away at it again, maybe I’lll have it for this Christmas.  A lot of work for a short story which probably won’t be that good.  But you’ve got to keep your hand in, haven’t you?

Wow, I’ve been on Blogger since December 2000!  That’s nine years, almost.  I should throw a party come December.
