Dahls spells out what I was trying to leave as subtext.

Yeah, just in case someone couldn't figure it out, however unlikely, I'll write it in large banners held high in the sky.

A whole week of smiles.
Who could possibly resist?

That could be interpreted as a sinister smile for Halloween.

That day of year, huh.
Time to turn of the light and draw the curtains.

...light a candle or two, and send good wishes to our disembodied loved ones...perhaps even drink a toast to them

Bah humbug.
Call me a cheap bastard if you like, but I've steadfastly refused to let Halloween into this house.
We have enough excuses to give sugary treats to kids without importing another one.

Unless of course it's Bex who comes a callin'.

Y'know, contrary to what some might think, Halloween is NOT an American festival. They just commercialised it. As tends to be their wont.

I know, we learned about Halloween's origins in school I remember,
but I'll always associate the celebration with America though.


And I belive we had the exact same conversation about this day last year.

I see...

So you guys won't be wanting any ginger wine, then?

Oh well.

I prefer red wine please.

Tonight I'm having a few dark ales though.
Attending a concert.

Good. Enjoy.

Ginger wine, red wine, a few ales?
A fresh glass for each I hope.

Whatever the origins of Halloween, it's never been celebrated to any great extent in Australia, except by those businesses trying to sell their goods via the coercion of little kids and the blackmail of their parents.

Bex: "Gimme a break Fish. Just let me rest up for a day or so, eh?"

You know, I think we did as well...

Not sure I have enough live brain cells to remember back a whole year.

One more day Bex. Don't be a wimp.
