Afternoon, all. The builders have left the premises and weā€™ve cleared up after them. Mostly, as the driveway needs a good scrubbing. The work was good enough, but I had a bit ovvan stand-off regarding the tumble-dryer ventā€¦ Dinner will be prawn and scallop stir-fry with egg noodles. I find that there is something calming about using chopsticks. Tomorrow, weā€™ll have the joy of walking around pumpkin fields with GS. In the rain, but that wonā€™t bother him (the wee tyke). I hope that the Fishly mattress was comfy. Soo xx ---

There is a horror story on Mumsnet, Soo, about a vendor who accepted the offer and only when all the paperwork was going through informed the buyers that they proposed to remove and take with them all the light fixtures the big mirror in the bathroom all the radiators. I call this a cheek on a par with the cheapskates who left one flat we moved into with no looroll (which we had expected, they were that sort of people) and, as we discovered when we moved in, every single lightbulb whether 60W, 100W or 150W swapped for the 40W ones they left for us. I didnā€™t know until then that it was even _possible_ to get 40W lightbulbs. ---

> [@Fanta](#): > > I didnā€™t know until then that it was even _possible_ to get 40W lightbulbs. Ah, you may never have had to live in the right sort of grotty flat. Very popular in halls and on stairs. I visited a lot of friends in places like that; itā€™s one reason I got into the habit of carrying a torch. I once saw a place that had been fitted with 20W bulbs. ---

Halls and stairs, of course, being the places where you absolutely need to be able to see where you are going, stairs in particular. ---

Meanwhile I once visited a friend whoā€™d just moved into a new place. He was about to install a 500W bulb in the paper shade. We recoiled. He asked, ā€œdonā€™t you think thatā€™ll be enough?ā€ ---

Pumpkin wanderings were surprisingly fun and, even more surprisingly, free of rain. Yay! We saw ghosts, skeletons, witches, bats and spiders and youngun enjoyed it all. Toasting marshmallows with the witches and scranning freshly fried churros with chocolate sauce were also hits. Pumpkins were picked and paid for and all was good. Hope all is well with you lot.
