No prizes for guessing which of the quintessential American events is coming up....
There is no mistaking the fact that Halloween is nearly upon us. Notwithstanding the fact that I have to get through my first Thanksgiving beforehand, the stores are packed floor to ceiling with spooky merchandise.
There are hairy spiders hanging from the rafters; inflatable witches circling above cash registers; and dracula fangs aplenty.
I don't know if I go in for all of this Halloween malarkey. I wonder whether in this day and age, parents still allow their kids to go 'trick or treating'. That remains to be seen I guess.
Still, I'm lucky. Fortunately for me, Caroline's place is like a fortress and no Augustus Gloop wannabe is getting past the front gate. Unless some softie in this complex has given him the code, that is. Must check that.
