I saw plenty of pumpkins, fake spiders & similarly useless stuff near where I live. Which annoys the heck out of me because I see absolutely no need for Halloween hereabouts — as you say, the Carnival season lasts from 11 November to mid-February, so this is totally useless.

Though I must say I was very amused when a friend of mine told me how some children had rung at her door (4th floor without a lift, no less), and all she had to give them was Müsliriegel and spelt biscuits. Har har.

Haha, well, yes, maybe.

Today it’s all over again, maybe they’ll now display whatever they didn’t manage to sell before the holiday, and I’ll get to see my Halloween trash.

You live in an indie-listening alternative reality then… or at least a conservative Grätzel. In my ‘hood even a small Billa is a pumpkin kingdom. What make it look strange, but I wouldn’t mind have some Kürbissuppe now.

The witches give me the bi(tri, in fact)-lingual powers today.
