HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hurricane Sandy has wrecked her (his?) havoc in and around New Jersey, but my family is safe and sound, thank goodness, albeit with a lot of damage to the properties and streets around them. My only hope is that, despite all the devastation, the children will be able to get on with their trick-or-treating, as only American children know how to do so well!
I loved spending Halloween in the US 2 years ago, they really go all out and the atmosphere is so festive.
Dave and I took a stab at hosting a halloween party of our own this year. It was a great success - although the people who make Halloween compilations of music need to work a bit harder! Ghastly! (Ghostly? See what I did there?!) But we had fun anyway and everybody made a real effort, it was great! We had 2 skeletons, a pumpkin, a pirate, 2 witches, a mental patient and her male nurse, 2 zombies (one of the regular kind and one Bishop!), Marilyn Manson's bride (not really), Red Riding Hood, 2 goths and erm.... Blackmail!
We went to town on decorating the house and had a few scares under our belts. We had eyeballs floating in the punch and plenty of vodka jelly shots to go around! All in all, a very successful first Halloween Party at casa Ring.

So if you're going out tonight, beware of ghosts and goblins of the trick-or-treating kind, but most of all... have fun!
