Welcome back, Omani.

Taking over from Twenty? Taking over what?

As for Grace, do keep us posted, but please do not enclose photographs…..

Greetings Grandad,
Congrats on taking over from Twenty Major. Congrats too on your splendid suggestion of what to do on Halloween Night. I tried out your attack. And it’s worked. Grace swallowed a load of fudge and this morning I’d swear she had the beginning of a something growing between her legs. It’s too early to say whether it’ll bloom into a full grown thing, but I’ll keep you posted.
Congrats again.

Things were fairly normal here. It’s very quiet up in the mountains, but numbers were up. I managed to collect a mere ten spent rockets from the garden this morning!

it was sad around here last night…only had one bunch of about ten. we live about four blocks from the projects and these kids were from there. they had no costumes or facepaint and for bags they had those plastic grocery bags, which i had to replace for some of them as theirs had holes in them. what was so sad was that they were just standing on the corner trying to decide which house it would be safe to go to. had to holler to them…”yo, over here” where i was immediately bombarded with ten kids at my door all at once it was great but sad. that’s all we had last night. oh and my big ole cat, georgie beat up a pit bull puppy…he’s so “bad” of coarse he’s walking around here this morning acting like i would if i got in a fight last night…in serious pain. that was about it for excitement last night.

Actually reality is more frightening. Its is so horrible I don’t even want to think about it. They are dressing up as, I can hardly say it, politicians.

James Bond on toast? Hmm. Stony doesn’t give a shit, especially when he’s pissed. We’re all used to him and just keep the dogs locked up.

Ta. Lil Hoop dresses most weekends as Charlie Chaplin / Stan Laurel / Groucho Marx / Clint Eastwood / James Bond, so it was an easy win. Likewise, Stony must like this time of year for sheer cover.

Congratulations to L’il Hoop

There were a few adults messing around here too. But then it may just have been Stony from the quarries letting off some dynamite. He does that the odd time when he’s had a skinfull.

I spotted a lot of adult skobies acting the maggot with fireworks tonight. Very near me the feckers. Maybe they got a taste of that fudge. Or too much of the “Fireworks4U” signs when you cross the border.

However….L’il Hoop won 1st prize for best costume tonight from South Dublin County Council – not even our own council. I am bathing in that glory tonight…..not a banger in the letterbox nor a stink-bomb in the air-vent will damage my pride.
