It's that time of year when hordes of rampaging children scurry through the streets in search of treats - and my children are no exception. This year was our first in England and we celebrated with a day of pumpkin carving, face painting and watching the Nightmare before Christmas. The boys had a blast walking the streets before we dashed home to lie in wait for trick or treaters. Good times. What else? Lets see. The job is going well, I passed my maths exam brilliantly, the Scout stuff is going well, with the banner well on the way to completion by November 5th. I finally bought my official scout shirt and have sewn on my (pitifully few) badges for the WW1 commemorative March on November 9th. Venice was fantastic. The canals, the old crumbling buildings, everything. It was absolutely fabulous - and totally unsuited to children making me thrilled to bits they stayed with their loving father. I am applying for jobs all over the place, and let me tell you trying to find something that is term time only is a wee bit challenging! My laptop is finally giving up the ghost so am looking at cheap desktop models so I can continue doing my admin work. I will wait for the post xmas sales I think to try and get the best deal. The boys are doing brilliantly in gymnastics and swimming. Kieran seems happy at the moment given that snow is on the horizon, we've just had All Hallows Eve, Guy Fawkes is coming up and Xmas is not far behind. But more importantly, I go to see Benedict Cumberbatch in Frankenstein on November 6th - WOOT!!!
