Trick or treat!

So the kiddies in our building went around the flats tonight. If you consider that the building has 3 sections of 5 floors, with roughly 4 flats per floor, that’s a fairly dense hunting ground for sweeties.

The Swiss, bless their little cotton socks, are only really starting to get into the spirit of Halloween. Must be the influence of all the bloody foreigners :) They see nothing wrong with giving out loose sweets from a big bag, an open packet of tic-tacs or a box of ricola cough lozenges. It’s the thought that counts, but it makes my inner north-american cringe.

Bean wanted a pumpkin carved into a cat. We got a picture off the internet that Katy freehanded. It got a lot of love from the crowd.

It warms my cockles to know that I’m not the only one who thought that…

Look at my horse!

I can’t believe that I’ve never tortured the oldies with this before!! Shocking lack of hindsight on my part.

Look at my horse
My horse is amazing
Give it a lick!
Mmm! It tastes just like raisins

Have a stroke of its mane
It turns into a plane
And then he turns back again
When you tug on his winky

Ooh, that’s dirty!
Do you think so?
Well, I better not show you where the lemonade is made
Sweet lemonade
Mmm, sweet lemonade
Sweet lemonade
Yeah, sweet lemonade

Get on my horse!
I’ll take you ’round the universe
And all the other places, too
I think you’ll find that the universe pretty much covers everything
Shut up, woman, get on my horse

Books specifically made for someone

Posted on October 31, 2016 By admin

I have seen many projects in the last year lead by someone who’s taken these books to heart:

Sadly, the developers who must deal with the new shiny-shiny have had to take pages out of this book:
