Poot!

I am disappointed.

See, now that I live in my own house instead of a flat for the first time ever on Halloween, and in a reasonably family-ish neighbourhood, too, I figured I might get kids round trick-or-treating. So I was ready! I had a huge bowl full of yummy treats. And I made sure I left the porch light on, and all. But no children came. :-(

I wanted to ward off evil spirits with propitiatory offerings, dammit!

I guess now I will just have to eat all those sweets myself...

Are you still up for coming on Sat? Do say yes! And bring your sweets!

Oh dear - I fear I can't say yes, as I have been having a pretty crummy week this week in terms of getting work done, and I'm now teetering dangerously on the edge of a crisis if I don't pull my finger out pronto. :-( I have a paper to deliver next Friday which I haven't started on, and I also still haven't done the revisions to a book chapter I wrote in September which I was supposed to have finished by now so I'd be clear to start on the paper. So there is woe.

I have however, emailed my Study Abroad students in Italy to see when they'll be free to receive a pastoral visit, and the 8th December and following is looking good. Verona is near both Venice and Milan, both of which I'm keen to visit! I will email you when I've had a chance to devote a bit more thought to the fine details - but are you still interested on principle?

Definitely interested in Italy. Sorry you won't be able to make it this weekend, but hope you get lots of work done instead.

OK, thanks - I will work hard! Hope you have a great party anyway.
