Halloween

Should there be an apostrophe in there? Jury is out. Here is one " ' ". Insert it where you will.

Have I decided to stop being grumpy and embrace, nae - 'enjoy!' this americanised festival? Have I purchased a pumpkin, face paint, purple hair dye (I don't need much) and a huge bag of flumps?

Nope, still a fully paid up curmudgeon.

Bah humbug.

Soon be Christmas.
