Does not feel like Halloween, seems all the festivities ended last weekend, even the spooky walk which I normally go on, but missed, because all was too early.
Quiet at work, I have the same feeling I've had a couple of times in recent year, namely don't make long term plans, cause things might very well change. Still, if it happens, it happens, let's not worry about things.
Lazy lard arse had no gym visits this month, nor did he go running. Did do a couple of walks though, the usual along the coast, need to do better and cut down on the malt whisky writes he while savouring a peated gem from Glen Moray..
Highlight of the month was the trip over to the Cottbus region- not my last German trip of the year- for a get together of various people I don't know too well. Yeah, managed to get drunk on the whisky I bought and mentioned the war a couple of times, same old, same old. Also managed to go to Bad Muskau, then a short walk over into Poland where all sorts of Nazi stuff was for sale, managed to resist all the Steinar clothing and Hitler statues though. Got bitten to death by German midges though during my stay with Wilfried in the village of Haasow. Before I knew it we were back in the dreich Scottish paradise of Fife.Clocks now gone back and it's getting dark as I write this, a quarter to five! I hate this time of year, the intelligent would head for Australia or similar. Photos show a couple of Fuehrer statues (there were also Hitler lighters, cigarette cases etc, SS badges etc), one of the impressive pyramids in the Branitzer park, the castle at Bad Muskau (about 200 metres from the open Polish border), and one of the many bites I suffered from the aforementioned wee beasties. Almost looks like a poppy to commemorate the war dead.
