Halloween 2006 preparations

This is what my living room looks like at the moment.

For the disaster gawkers out there. That furry brown thing will be the vest for Halloween, it still needs some stitches. In the middle the grey wings. The one on the right is more or less finished, the one on the left I just sprayed and needs to dry out, hence the discolorations. I started all this on my balcony, but it's been raining so much that I had to move indoors. Then there's a couple of cans of spraypaint, grey, silver and black. Various towels, papers, tissue, fabrics, needles, thread, pliers, drills and so on. I did myself the favour of not including the huge pile of laundry just to the left of this picture. Disaster zone.

Just called my mum, who also seems to have that feeling of relief regarding Sammie's passing away. She told me one of my nephews (4.5) had called last night in tears saying how bad he felt about Sammie dying and asking what the vet had said. It's sometimes amazing to see how much these little kids pick up from their environment. So tonight I'll be digging up some pictures I took last year, to see if I can find a nice one of her to give to him.

Oh and speaking of my nephews... I'll be getting another one April next year. There's some message in there about life and death going hand in hand or something.
