HODGEPODGE OCT 28

 1. What most recently gave you goose bumps? 

I have never gotten goosebumps; instead, I tend to jump into the air and scream. That’s exactly what happened yesterday when I was standing in the bathroom and suddenly one of our residents, who isn’t quite all there, appeared right next to me! Did I get a fright! And the funny thing is, she looks just like a little 12-year-old girl and smiles all the time. She is there with her husband who is very tall, and holds her hand all the time, otherwise she escapes ! But I believe he is not quite right in his head either ! 

2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate? 

In my room I have nothing, but the whole castle is decorated for Halloween despite the works ! 

3. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia...your favorite seed on the list? What's something you like to make/eat that calls for one of these seeds in the recipe? 

Halloween was not celebrated in Belgium or in other European countries, except Ireland, so I never ate something especially made for Halloween. It started to move in maybe 20 years ago, and not everywhere.

4. What's the most (or one of the most) 'fall photos' you've ever taken? Share it here. Just one. 

The view out of my window

5. Somehow we're rolling in to November next week. If your October were a chapter in a book, what would the title of this chapter be? 

How does one learn to endure loud noise?

(our castle is being renovated )   

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I’m slowly going crazy! They’re tearing out the parquet flooring above me, and it’s making a huge racket. Meanwhile, I’m waiting to get my new room and I’m already busy furnishing it, in my head, of course. Unfortunately I have to wait until February !
