Halloween

After the last three days lying on the couch in a pile of dirty tissues and antibiotics, coughing up my lungs and sweating out a constant fever, I was pretty sure that I'd be the scariest thing at our Halloween party no matter what. In fact I was hoping to be lucky enough just to be able to speak without hacking and to be able to stand for a few minutes at a time.

Thankfully, by Saturday arvo I felt a little better, and also thankfully Sarah took it on herself to decorate the entire apartment in cobwebs, plastic spiders, glow in the dark skeletons and pumpkins, ready for just a little party. With Krista and Tagg over from Canada we had promised to show them a real dress up halloween.

I spent half the day baking vegan treats: choc chip cookies, banana bread with dates, pecan and chocolate rum pudding

Meanwhile Krista and Tagg spent about 4 hours crafting futuristic robot outfits almost entirely from a single roll of duct tape each. Impressive.

So we had Amy Winehouse


Devil in a Blue Dress


The Robo team


And plenty of other scary characters
