Lay-ins and Lights

While I think of it - please remind me NOT to sit up all night Monday/Tuesday. The 49ers are live on Sky Sports again and I do NOT want to make the same mistake I made a couple of weeks ago. Thanks in advance for your help.

Been a lovely day today, tempered somewhat by the horrible late-Autumn feel to it all, and the depressing realisation that we change the clocks next weekend, so it'll be dark next Sunday by about 5pm.
Offsetting that, it will be a busier week at work as we'll be full of families again, celebrating half-term; and we'll have the 3rd Annual (I think) Rory Hallowe'en Extravaganza Party to look forward to. All is in place now, it's just a case of making sure everyone that we booked to come along has confirmed arrival times and then I can get on with the job of selling it to the few tourists onsite this week who hadn't already ordered their tickets when they booked their holidays in the first place.
A few extras this year - Crazy Golf with added ghosts and ghouls on the course, a 'Hidden Pumpkin' trail where children have to search for (guess what?) hidden pumpkins and win a big bag of sweets if they find them all, and we're going to do a 'Lantern Parade' after the big party on Friday. There's an activity in the afternoon where the children get to make their own lanterns, then we'll go for a character-led march around the whole site after it gets dark.
Yes, I stole the idea from an attraction in Norfolk, but we're putting our own twist on it, and anyway - none of our visitors will be driving Northwards to see that attraction anyway, so sod 'em.
