Some Candy Talking

Dang, we were doing so well with the blog and then we failed to post for over a month! We've got some big updates for you though.
Firstly at the end of September we travelled up to Massachusetts for Lee, who works with Dave, and Kelly's wedding. The weather was abysmal but the wedding and the reception were at the same venue so it wasn't an issue. The wedding itself was great (and short) and we danced quite sanely as well as like maniacs. It was also a good opportunity to see the giant chair in Gardiner http://www.flickr.com/photos/11463478@N00/2889740511/in/photostream/ but the whale watching in Boston was cancelled due to the high sea state. The drive back home in the wet weather wasn't too demanding but we saw two cars on their roofs.
Sybil & Helen arrived for a fortnight stay and we did loads of walking, saw loads of wildlife, and plenty of sights. Midway through their stay Helen skived off to Houston for a conference and took part in a 3rd in her age group in a 5k race.
I took Helen to our second gig of the year in at Tiffany's Tavern in Alexandria; a five piece Bluegrass band which seemed to be comprised mainly of pensioners.
last year we missed Halloween at home so this year we went the whole hog by decorating the yard, carving pumpkins and buy loads of candy. The kids who called trick or treating had all dressed up and a lot of the costumes and make up , ranging from cute to scary, were great. They were also very polite albeit more focused on the candy than dialogue and we had to force most of them to take more than one piece.
The on piece annoying news is that our landlord is facing foreclosure, not annoying in itself but it does mean we have to move house. We have spent most of the last week worrying about moving and looking for something pleasant in the area We have found a couple of promising prospects it just depends on the Embassy getting their act in gear.
