Is Happy Halloween the right thing to say? It just doesn’t seem right for some reason. If Halloween is all about ghouls and ghosts then why would we say that is happy? Anyway, I guess you can tell that we don’t really ‘do’ Halloween in Australia so the whole experience is new to me. Having said that, it’s all a bit of fun. 

The other morning I was walking Zoe past our neighbours house and when I checked to see what she was sniffing I let out a small scream (It was really small OK!). Our neighbours had planted a fake, severed hand in their front yard and I completely wasn’t expecting it. I think I made their day though. I could hear peals of laughter coming from their house.

Tonight I’m going to a small party at a friends house and we’re having cocktails and I’m carving my first pumpkin. I think they took pity on me when I asked what I had to do when kids came trick or treating. It’s so much fun living in a new country!

Kudos to Mel for the design and photography for this shot. We put it together for the ARF 2008 Calendar, and I think I was the dog wrangler for this particular session. Mel had the best ideas!
