My shift passed quickly at work today and before I knew it, it was 2pm and time to go home. For once, I didn't have anything planned but it took me a good hour and a half to prepare a sausage casserole for tonight's dinner. I didn't mind as I had nothing else to do and it smelled delicious by the time I'd finished. Keith had prepared all the vegetables, so once it was done, I swept the kitchen floor and mopped.
Before Sophie came home, I also prepared the house for Halloween, and Keith and I found our terracotta pumpkin in the garage. I arranged candles along the windowsill in the living room and put on a YouTube video on the computer of a spooky house and pumpkins. Just before Sophie arrived, I turned all the lights out, sent Keith upstairs to get changed and hid behind the door to jump out on her. Unfortunately, she saw me moving and my plan was thwarted!
We sat in the kitchen and played cards and Sophie made us each a "Vampire's Kiss" - Prosecco, Vodka and raspberry liqueur served with a raspberry. The drinks were delicious and quite potent!
We had quite a few trick-or-treaters this evening and I put sweets in a big bowl for them to choose. We ate at about 7.30pm and blew the candles out and drew the curtains so we could have dinner in peace, but I think most of the children had been and gone by then, It was a very enjoyable evening!
After dinner, we watched most of Psycho, but by 9.30pm we were flagging so it was time for bed!
Happy Halloween!
