That's two Bloody Marys please
I was on call by the way. Fortunately I didn't get called out, although walking on the labour ward splattered in blood probably wouldn't get a second look... Incidentally, walking down Chiswick High Road with a severed head and a machete didn't get so much as a quizzical glance from those passing by so if you're thinking of a career in psychopathic killing that's probably the best place to do your groundwork.
Saturday we went into London in the evening to see Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, which was absolutely excellent. Extraordinary to see the guys who literally invented thrash metal hiring a therapist and explore their feelings. They even go as far as writing a Metallica Mission Statement! You don't have to like or even know Metallica to love this film.
Then today was spent in the ever delightful company of our friends Phillip and Zoe, who were having a Hallowe'en party. Boys will be boys, and these boys take their gadgets very seriously. Phillip dressed up as (a bit of a camp) Grim Reaper:
Ooh Death you are awful
And Tudor had rigged up a load of sound effects, so when Trick or Treaters came near, we had scary music, lightening/thunder effects, witches cackles and wolves howling. Phillip had a radio mic under his mask and Tudor had rigged up a load of echo on his voice so he could scare the children. I had reprised my 'psycho killer' outfit and also joined in, then Ellie and Morag, the two witches, handed round the sweets. Actually, most of the children seemed none-too-peturbed by us but alot of the parents were terrified! All in all it was apparent that we were having far more fun than any of the kids were...
Even little Elliot - Phillip & Zoe's little baby - joined in with all the fun by dressing as a pumpkin:
One MILLION dollars muah muah muah...
So a good time was had by all. Back to work tomorrow...
