The frost and the return cometh ever closer..

I woke up this morning to find it still pitch black outside.
Yup. 7:00 and still dark.
Upon checking my weather widget, I discovered that the temp had dropped to a comfortably balmy -4c last night.
After leaving the house I noticed that the garden was white, and everything was coated in a fine layer of ice too. Back indoors and another two layers of clothing later, and I was on my way to Passport Canada to see an end to two months of paperwork, (again, I reiterate.. NEVER let your passport expire..).

But we're skipping ahead here.
Let's backtrack a little.
So last week saw the arrival of Halloween fever, and seriously, does this continent ever get caught up in all this stuff!
After the aforementioned party on Deadman's Island last week, (see previous blog post) it was down to Seattle for the weekend, where I stayed once more at Sean's place. (and I might add that I had an awesome weekend Sean, despite the cold, and the fact that my pumpkin had turned to mush.. Thanks for having me again!!)
Saturday night was the big halloween party there, and no kidding, this place was seriously hammering. At once point I stepped out the front door to get a little air, and saw a line of people backing down the garden path and up the street, in a que to get in.. Madness.. The cops didn't bother breaking it up this time either (which unfortunately was the case last time the gang held a house party there) because they had their hands full, we discovered the next morning that there had been a couple of shootings in the neighbourhood in the wee hours of the morning.. (Don't freak out mum, this only happens every few days..)

Anyway, good times all around. I dressed as Harry Potter this time, and DJ'd the night away on my trusty laptop, carefully concealed from the wild gyrations of the crowd under faux spider web on the bookshelf.. I'm sure at some point people found themselves dancing and singing along to Spice Girls, but by that time nobody cared. Good times.

I amused myself on the bus trip back to Vancouver by catching up on the last three episodes of Battlestar Galactica. (Holy geez this show keeps getting better.. during the last episode I cried, I'll admit it.. and that's not a good thing when you're sitting next to a Hell's Angel.. more metal on him than Arnold had in 'Predator' I says...)

Anyway! Only 34 days until my return to Oz, let's start clearing the playroom please, I want the couch by the back wall so we can set up a table for food & drinks, then the TV can go in the corner.. I'll set up a slideshow.. and I'll need two cables to connect the speakers there-..

Cheers all!
