Outpourings / Re: 364 days

:D

I bought a tub of sweets even though I live in a forest, far from the nearest proper road, and I was fairly certain to be 100 miles away in Kilmarnock watching my team play football when most of the kids were out guising. However, my two older grandkids live literally next door in the same building with my daughter and her hubby, so they turned up on my doorstep on Friday evening, not even in costume, and left me with just a small handful of the contents of the tub. Which I was happy about, because, as predicted, no other kids braved the dark, pot-holed, single track 'road' to our house... and I'm not really allowed sweet stuff, so that handful was more than enough.

Happy Halloween indeed! :)

Twix (I think it's its own plural) is/are one of my favourites also, Diane - always has/have been.

My wife bought a large tin of Quality Street in case any trick-or-treaters came round. None did. She is very happy.

Outpourings / 364 days

I've waited 364 days to wear my Halloween t-shirt - it arrived a day late last year.

Most years we don't get any trick-or-treaters but I always buy candy - I just tested a Twix bar out - two thumbs up.

Happy Halloween!

I officially now live in the most racist of all the Alberta voting districts.

As an immigrant myself I do feel distressed. Yes we had a very positive vote to remain in Canada but that did not equate to choosing Canadian values in the nasty nine poll questions regarding immigrants, including people even from other provinces, and approval for long term fights with the federal judgement for party politics on things such as denying Albertans dental, prescription coverage and affordable day care, that people in most of the other provinces have benefited from.

You always think "it can't happen here" :-(

It all sounds rather unpleasant, Diane. The coverage I saw over here gave it an almost humorous feel. Apologies for my lighthearted approach.

I voted to stay in Canada and said "no" to the other 9 racist and power grabbing questions by our fascist elements.

It has been very stressful, the ballot cost a lot of money (these are the same people who took $200 a month from disabled people this spring) and, looking like we mollycoddle idiots, surely made people reconsider investing or moving here.

Hope we are done with it.

The situation in Alberta can't be compared to the situation in Scotland.

Interesting times in Alberta, Diane! If you join with Scotland, we'll have an Alba/Alberta coalition!
