Nigel Builds Up His Pester Power

It’s started! Nigel has begun to peruse the Halloween items that are beginning infiltrate some of the shops that he occasionally “haunts” on his way back from work………

….. and, I fear that these occasional “hauntings” will become a little more frequent as Halloween nears.

Fortunately,  Nigel’s taste seems to lean towards the more humorous and inoffensive, rather than to the macabre and tasteless  ………

……… and, he knows that anything of a grotesque, flashing eyed,  eerie noise emitting type nature will, categorically, not be allowed through the portals of Castle Greysquirrel and would therefore be a waste of his hard earned money!  I prefer that all of us are strangers to seasonal type nightmares, particularly of the self inflicted variety!I have also reminded him that he has still has his pumpkin outfit from last year which was sent by our very dear friends Dianne and Christopher in Florida. It was wrapped in tissue paper, put in a box and very carefully put away after our celebrations, so he doesn’t need a Halloween costume either.

I think he has got the message ….. no morbid, no gruesome, no grisly , no just plain disgusting  ….. and he has to ask himself very, very robustly “As a Relative Uncle, is this something that I would show or play with baby Iris?????
