It has been a long time since my last post so I thought I would do a quick update. I haven't been doing much. We moved into our new flat and I did have a really nice visit back to Ontario for Thanksgiving. It was great seeing family and friends again. I miss all of you so much!
Today is Halloween! I find it hard to believe that it is the end of October. I think it is partly due to the weather. It is still warm and sunny here, actually it has been really nice lately, not too hot, not too humid. Just nice. While I have experienced warm (and cold!) Halloweens before, I have never worn shorts! Also I don't have large Costco bags of candy in hanging around either (probably a good thing...). Halloween is celebrated here, but not to the same extent as Canada. There are all kinds of Halloween decorations in the stores and kids are wearing costumes, but it doesn't involve the whole community. Schools have events and there are a few streets here, with low-rise/townhouse/detached homes that do hand out candy for trick or treaters, but there is nothing happening in the high-rise blocks, which make up 99% of the housing. While down in the plaza today I saw them setting up what looked like a Haunted House type thing and some tents with tables. I would normally venture down to see what is going on, either to the plaza or the other events happening in the city, but Mr Grey Cat will be home in the early evening and I want to see him. So I will not be handing out candy for the first time that I can recall! Still I want to wish you all a happy and safe Halloween! Boo!
I didn't have my camera with me but I took a couple of iPhone shots of the set up in the plaza.
I have no idea what this is supposed to be, but there are a few of them and they look pretty scary to me!
The tallest skeleton I have ever seen!
A work in progress..
