The shelf stackers in Tesco's entered enthusiastically into the Halloween spirit. The ladies behind the information counter all sported black skeleton body stockings with faces painted to match. A special call out has to go to the young woman replenishing the pineapples who came dressed in a long black cloak underneath which was a white swimming costume to which copious amounts of blood curdling red paint had been applied. She also wore a gold crown and yellow Crocks. Truth be known these gave her the look of a badly cast wise man in the local Christmas pageant but we keep this thought to ourselves. Halloween in my day was a quiet occasion with dooking for apples being the highlight but now seems to have been elevated to a major commercial celebration.
There was one solitary Halloween sponge cake left. It would have been churlish not to buy it.

I'm really not sure that I could bring myself to eat that sponge cake. As to your second link, I think that I mentioned that our new car will be able to park itself?
Your insights into the practicality of this feature around French parking spaces are eagerly awaited.

Oh well done, Angus. Who needs bread when there is cake?!
The Grey has the technical button that would permit hands-free parking. I've never been tempted to use it as I am very adept at parallel parking. I am always amazed at the value placed on this by the Americans - to be fair, the Aussies are similar. They just don't really have the same need for the skill, where as we have to deal with it in our driving tests due to the very tight parking we have in the UK! YAM xx
Hands-free parking? Was afraid to use it for the first few months. Now love it for those really tight spaces in the city.
The little car is easier to parallel park with the top down.
I love those tartan boots -- especially the green ones! Isn't today the day you leave for the frozen north?? Safe travels!
I would be interested in knowing the Font’s hilarious remarks when Angus came home breadless…and with pastries to boot. C.
