Yes, thats were I live - in the quite posh sounding Maritime Quarter of Swansea. Its a nice Georgian building divided into 50 flats.Well quite nice apart from the nutter next door who was removed [sectioned] and then returned.. I try to feel sympathy for her, but she has a habit of stamping on the floor in the early hours - patience has a limit!

yes, insides have to be touched up every so often sadly. we lost the frilly bits on the ceilings when we got renovated, ceilings got lowered. that said, still pretty high... i always feel like ducking when i'm in someone's titchy new build.

 

my tenement hasn't got many frilly bits on the outside either, most do. partick has some pretty ones.

 

the city centre is amazing though. always go shopping with my head held high... it's all up above the ground floor.

it has it's moments. my particular neighbourhood has the fossil grove, scotstoun stadium (this area will be chock-a-block during the commonwealth games) and an old victorian trainline - turned cyclepath (although, that's mostly on fire these days.)

 

sadly this area is mainly known for purposely set fires... cyclepath, cars the old garage that used to be round the back of my house (seriously, fire service was out to it nine different days during a summer holiday, one of those days three times.).

must be a regional thing. like how we say guising and no one else seems to. (keep correcting the kids at work... not very polite of me. ). anyway, apples are traditional in general.

 

get many guisers? we had 10.

 

i'd like to try carving a pumpkin... but it seems an awful waste of food since i'm not going to eat any of it.

 

one poor lassie came into school today giving away her halloween hoard, bacon flavour crisps and gelatine based sweets... she's muslim.

 

had a good night. even if i did spend most of it watching the decidedly unscary louis theroux and steve backshall. how's about you?

I was quite tired and went to bed a bit early. I've never had "guisers" call here, as its mostly singles and retired people.

 

I still have some candles etc left over so I've lit them tonight. [ Oh well its still Samhain, the true Celtic celebration] and even better the Mexican Dia de los Muertos falls today.

 

How did your *spells* go ?

oops! forgot autumnwatch... i'll just iplayer it like everything else.

 

tv woman in radio times and the letters page of same mag have it in for the presenters, saying they act like childrens tv presenters (*ahem* chris packham and micheala strachan? *cough*reallywildshow*cough*)... and some people (horrible, stupid people) are blaming martin hughes-games for anything that looks like fun. gods forbid educational stuff should be entertaining!

 

gods help these people if steve backshall shows up... they may explode with indignation! (i remember that being a cooler smiley on c4... )

 

rant over.

 

i miss badgercam... the sound of sleeping badgers was rather soothing.

 

was a bit proud last week, i got 2 of the unsprung skulls right.

ROFL  . Oh I forgot about that, didn't he live with the Tarka guy, and he got his fingers chomped off

 

That giant housespiders bit was scary. None of them looked as big as the one I saw when I lived in a flat beside the halfpenny bridge in Dublin years ago. Luckily it was outside, crawling up the wall beside the window. It was the size of my hand [ or thats how I remember it lol ].
