I haven’t taken any suitable Halloween photo this year, too busy with exercise and ElderExercise, among other things.
But I still flickr quite a bit. One of my flickr friends, mrs. t has posted this jack o’ lantern, which I simply find magnificent.
Booo!
And here’s the whole process. I’ve never done this but it sure looks like a lot of work!

More photos of Durham here, but I am far from having finished the upload!
Update: the knocker on the door is a replica. The real knocker is in the cathedral’s Treasury. It dates back to the MiddleAges
Durham Cathedral was also a centre for criminals seeking sanctuary. A criminal would bang the sanctuary knocker at the north door on Palace Green to alert one of the watchmen. They would be admitted into the cathedral, and offered sanctuary for 37 days. They were obliged to confess the details of their crime to the coroner, and they had to change their clothes for a black robe with a yellow cross on the shoulder.

This made me laugh. I had spotted this crazy clock that was making time really fly and just as I was starting to film it,
… when my cell-phone rang, playing When I’m sixty-four by the Beatles.
Of course, now I AM sixty-four…
I had forgotten all about this short video taken while walking on the Deauville promenade, les planches.
Time does fly: I took this at the end of August.

We’ve had quite beautiful days lately, sunny and rather warm, somewhat like an Indian summer and it was quite enjoyable since September had been rather rainy and chilly. But you can tell that we’re heading towards winter.
