October disappeared in what feels like a matter of hours, and now the Halloween fun is upon us. Shops, offices, homes and cars are decorated to varying degrees with Halloween paraphernalia from the ghoulish to the cute, and TV shows are screening their special holiday episodes. I must admit to delighting in Glee’s Rocky Horror tribute, and observe that Mr Schuester should take off his shirt more often.
I’m somewhat inured to the loopiness of the season, having already experienced it twice, but Mum has been running around taking photographs of giant pumpkins and animatronic zombies lifting their glassy-eyed heads on and off in purgatorial repetition. This last week, however, she has been visiting friends in Vancouver. We’ll be spending a lot of time at airports this weekend as I collect her on Saturday, and then we head to LAX on Sunday night for our 14 hour blind dash in a speeding tin can back to Melbourne. We land on Cup Day! Oh, how I’m looking forward to being back in Melbourne, albeit for barely more than two weeks. A flying visit indeed, with many catch-ups, dinners and assorted revelry on the agenda.
