4.45 pm, Halloween has arrived and we are all set:
I'm told that the tendency these days is to hold Halloween parties where the kids come dressed up. It's all a bit passé going door-to-door, threatening the innocent townsfolk.
In any event, we are prepared; and if no-one comes, trust me, none of this is going to waste!

Update 10 pm: For the second year running, no-one came. Oh well, time for plan B ..
