Is the Pizza Poisoned....? :).<br /><br />Well, about 15mins ago..at about 7 o'clock some 'ugly' looking<br />children came to the front door, good job it's Halloween! 🎃. <br />There was eight of them...how do l know...l counted them! :).<br />I had bought a couple of cheap pizza's from Iceland! I topped <br />one of them up a bit more, and made it look like a weirdo...self<br />portrait you might say! :). <br />When it was nicely cooked, and looked edible, l put it on a plate,<br />and cut it into eight pieces! <br />So, Knock! Knock! l opened the door...there they ALL were.....<br />moaning and groaning...."Trick or Treat" ??? <br />So..l lowered the plate of Pizzas..and said..."There's eight pieces<br />of pizzas..but two of them are poisoned" :). <br />I~could'nt~believe~it....within seconds...ALL..Yes ALL..the pieces <br />were gone...<br />They all went off down the path..chomping on Pizza..!!! <br />When they got to the bottom of the path...they turned round and <br />said...."Thanks Willie"...or words to that affect!!! :). <br />But..I'd recognise them again..one had a red mask on, one was wearing<br />horns and a mask, one had a ghost hood on...etc..etc..<br />So no problem there then !!! <br />Bless them! I love kids...I used to be one you know....!!! :0). <br />Bit of fun and a laugh was had by all....! 👀 WILLIE...! =(^..^)=https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862273578655424772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-4413678917984948092016-10-31T17:21:37.520+00:002016-10-31T17:21:37.520+00:00Happy Halloween, Barbara.

Are you dressing up for the occasion? What a good idea to get the trick-or-treaters organised like that. With us, it is just pot luck, sometimes we have lots of little witches and ghosts and other times none. I’ve got some treats ready, in the hope some will arrive.<br />I was quite pleased to know one Shakespearian joke. It is just like Willie to know so many; he always has something up his sleeve. You must have been very proud of your son, such a lovely memory. <br />I hope you are having fun this evening. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-34714689512715081192016-10-29T20:45:08.800+01:002016-10-29T20:45:08.800+01:00Hello Lee, oh lucky you to have such a brilliant p...Hello Lee, oh lucky you to have such a brilliant professor, I do think it makes such a difference.<br />I’m so pleased you enjoyed my cousin’s tale.

I'd never been a fan of Shakespeare because I couldn't understand it! Well, I was eighteen and unschooled, so that was my excuse. He made the bard's work come to life and gave me such an appreciation for the stories and beauty of the language. The witch scene has never failed to give me delightful shivers. Thanks for it just before All Hallows Eve. Oh, and thank you so much for your cousin's amazing story that you posted on my blog. It was a fabulous read.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-7423320400768986392016-10-29T15:33:51.705+01:002016-10-29T15:33:51.705+01:00I'll be going to a Halloween party later tonig...I'll be going to a Halloween party later tonight and your fun post will surely get me in the mood. We also have trick-or-treaters coming from 5 to 7 (our town always does it on the Saturday before Halloween instead of right on the date.) I never knew there were so many Shakespearian knock-knock jokes, fun! My son performed in a local college production of MacBeth when he was around 12 (as MacDuff's son), this brought back good memories. Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-treaters don't come to our door because we're on a main street, so handing out candy isn't an option.
