Opening the front door the other night, 31st October to be exact, we were confronted by an alarming sight. You know the neighbourhood’s going to pot when armed villains come to the door in broad porch light and extort food.
We snuck a peek in their goody bag and were surprised to see a bottle of beer in there. Being entirely out of lollies, we offered them a beer as well. They seemed placated.
Sometimes I wish I didn”t need to sleep. I like sleeping, but it does consume a fair bit of time. During the week, I like to eat early, go to bed early, and wake up just before sunrise. That”s a sleep. Plus, you can get things done in the morning before other people wake up wanting breakfast, or clothes ironed, or lunches packed, drink bottles found. “Where”s your hat? What have you done with your school bag? No, you can”t take your jewellery box to school”. And so on.
