Not sure happy’s the right word for Hallowe’en, but it’s nicely alliterative. Anyway I found this site, Extreme Pumpkins, via a commenter at Pandagon and this of all the nicely sicko designs sums up how vile I’m feeling at the moment.
I actually went to get a flu shot yesterday, but it’s too late, I already caught something. Every year the bugs blossom earlier and earlier – soon they’ll have to start giving flu jabs in August .
This means I really can’t be arsed blogging today, not with a headful of hot wet sand and the screen swimming like it is and my nose throbbing and throat scratching and my bones hurting. Ow ow ow. Woe is me.
Bed beckons. Luckily we just re-found a couple of second-hand books I’d bought a while since and hidden for just such an eventuality as this. Martin will just have to take up the blogslack today. I’m outta here. I’m sure the world can collapse perfectly well in my absence.
Update: Yeah, yeah, I know I said I was going – but I just remembered I saw that one of our neighbours has put up Christmas lights and decorations already, the day before Hallowe’en. Earliest I’ve seen yet on a private dwelling in Amsterdam. or anywhere.
Just had to get my dibs in quickly.
