Our band are playing at a mates wedding tomorrow , getting a bit nervous tonight which is unlike me, so have resorted to some sleeping juice. Or beer as it’s otherwise known. This time tomorrow we will be playing to 200+ who are A: captive and B: pissed (hopefully) which is usually the perfect mix for a good gig.

I used to rent a room at Red Hill Marina.

Looks like they got as far as the Station because it's a fucking cart track for the last mile after that bit.

At the shop getting a couple of beers tonight, and this thing clattered up. Just look at the fucker!

As someone who drives a rough talbot express 70% of the time, it warms my cockles to see any obsolete and incredibly tatty commercial vehicle being hoofed about to the shops and stuff.

One of my neighbours about 10 years ago used to use an Express minibus for the school run (no, she didn't have that many kids). She had at least 3 of them in her garden, one was for spares and the others were used in rotation. She drove everywhere absolutely flat out, it was a joy to see.

How amusing that members of the public (not MP's themselves) are complaining that an election on 12th December is going to "disrupt their Christmas". 

What, 2 minutes putting an X in a box? 

Tits.

And actually they interviewed a woman in the street, who said "I don't have time for that" ah but you had time to pick up your methadone prescription love.

This is what our house looked like as of about 15 minutes ago...

We see quite a few trick or treaters here so tend to put on a show.

Plus it's an excuse to dig out interesting stuff from the lighting stash...even though that didn't happen quite so much this year as the prep was basically the last hour of scrambling around like a madman seeing what bits and pieces I could cobble together at the last minute.

Hooray! I no have to look at Brexit adverts whenever I go on gov.uk to check an ebay car's MOT history (have a look - it's gone!). There's still the massive billboard in town though that tells me about what a superb job the Government is doing buying back the 20,000 police officers it made redundant a few years ago.

I took Charlie out earlier and some of the houses have gone nuts, it's great! 

Bonus for me is he can't have chocolate (milk allergy) so he gave all that to daddy!

Eva's still out, she went with her friends and the mummy's from school, I knew Charlie would only have 45 minutes in him

This is what greets anyone arriving here when the door opens, looming out of the fog (which billows out the door once opened).

Despite the fact that we're getting a reputation for putting on a good show here now, the reactions are still great. 

We've got normal sweets, Halal sweets for those who have that sort of requirement, and small toys for those with food allergies etc.  We try to make sure there's something for everyone.

Think we're up to nearly sixty visitors by this point, though we'll be calling time on it pretty soon.

On the drive home from work today I was passed by a brown and beige Freight Rover. I was doing 65mph and it passed me at a not inconsiderable pace/volume. Some kind soul on Flickr has previously papped it 5 years ago so you can also experience the joy.

Mere minutes later I was passed by an immaculate Mk2 Polo hatch, complete on it's steel wheels and hubcaps. Today was a good day.
