Happy Hallowe'en to all! Particularly to Mom who is going through withdrawal - there's no one around to bitch about all the crap she puts up everywhere so it's lost it's festivity for her I fear. Damn shame that is...

Hallowe'en isn't nearly as big here as at home. People still have this notion they have to be scary and absolutely no one decorates for the occassion. They'll learn... soon enough it will be pushed in their innocent little consuming faces until they have no choice but to relish in the commercialism of every season. But until then they just have to suffer with Christmas music being played and Christmas trees in shop windows for 3 full months! But that's just my view.....

Nothing new this week. Monday was Labour Day here so it was great to have the extra day off from both jobs. Just putting my nose to the grind for the next month to build up a bit of cash and enjoy my last bit of time in Chch. Ian left this week and it was a bit of a wake up call for me to realize I really only have a matter of weeks left here! It's going to be hard to leave!

Okay must try to email some of you now.......
