Happy Hallowe'en!

If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for my Nanowrimo writing group! The sign-up sheet is here and closes tonight. Those of you in other time zones may have started your Nano journey already, but, to keep things simple, I'll be kicking off the writing group on 1 November US time!





LOML, Mark, Mum and I spent the day out at Lake Travis, flying our kite and lazing in the sun.





My new saddle-bag got its first official outing, too.

Me and Mum.



Our well-travelled thrifted picnic basket.



There were nine or ten of these birds circling overhead - and golly, were they huge! A metre wingspan at least.

See you tomorrow for Nanowrimo!

Cute photos, happy Halloween. :)

Lake Travis looks small, is it low or just the angle? Anyway, those are Turkey Vultures, commonly referred to as Buzzards. Large birds have a wingspan of almost 2 meters!

I already signed up for Naowrimo this year, although I don't know if I have it in me to write another novel in a month!

Hope you had a happy Halloween!

Jane - we were at a shallow point. And thanks, I wondered what they were!

That bag is awesome! It's such a cute idea but so well done, looks cool :D And those birds are vultures :p Bit creepy, but appropriate for Halloween!
