Grumpy Devil

How can you tell the trick and treaters that you don't do Halloween without appearing a right grump? Luckily I was saved on the actual night because we were out at a Not Halloween Light Party at Church from 5 to 7pm so the door wasn't answered anyhow. The evening before, I answered the door to two under 10s with their mum and told them I was sorry but I don't do Halloween. I will have to watch it. A poor 85 year old lady who is a neighbour of Pauline and Alan had a brick put through her bedroom window just after 8pm last night. What sort of despicable person would do that?
The Light Party was really well attended with over 40 children plus some of their mums and dads who stayed on. I spent most of the time in the kitchen with Barbara. We had been asked to go at 5pm, which we did, but everything was organised by then so we just had to watch in case things boiled over. There were lots of games and hot dogs and cakes and a chocolate fountain and fruit. I just hope none of the kids were sick later on! I nearly was!!
I have been told off at the dentist so have been watching what I eat this week. Mind you, I am not a sugar fiend and could quite easily go the rest of my life without any sweets/candies. I do enjoyed the odd Sports Mixtures or Fruit Salad tho'. The dentist said I needed to see a hygienist so I made an appointment for the next day and have to go again next week. As brother-in-law Alan said, he just takes his out and hoses them down in the garden. It is easily the most begrudged money that Barbara and I pay out. The ads they show for their easy payment scheme seem so plausible but a few seconds on a calculator show the truth. Moan over.
I have made one persons life a misery this week and he has taken it all very well. The guy on the counter at Keyline has been patience personified while I have buggered up his accounts. Distinct lack of knowledge on my part and extremely poor mathematical skills (to my eternal shame, I can only plead ignorance at the cost of timber). Anyhoo, it's all sorted now and I have the wood. Hopefully the bank will be able to sort out all the too-ing and fro-ing as I paid up then later read the order and realised I was going to get 10 lap wood fence panels instead of 10 6ftx6inx1in boards! I would blame my age but another of the chaps at Keyline called me "young man"
