Just booked dog sitter, gallery tickets and train tickets for two exhibitions in London: Abstract Expressionism at the Royal Academy, and Beyond Caravaggio at the National Gallery.
@hazardwarning One of the other dog walkers was talking about it last night. They had lots of callers, but it seems the convention round here is only to call at houses that are decorated.

@jussipekonen Churches round here have always had Harvest Festivals, but some time in September, I think. There are All Souls and All Saints days now. I never could keep them straight. I’m not sure when Halloween became the beginning of Christmas.

@peemee We haven’t had any for several years, I’m pleased to say. I have no idea why knocking on strangers’ doors and announcing that you’ll do something horrible to them if you don’t pay up is seen as a good idea.
@kdfrawg At the moment, an hour having hot pins stuck in you could be worth the absence!
One of the good things about dogs is that they take you away from reading the news for a while.
@larand Have they ever cancelled an election because it turned into such an embarrassing shambles?
