  6. @Black_Flag Agreed! However the fair exchange in #Guising is the good and one true way for exploring the thin time and places of #Samhain.
    #TrickOrTreat can get in the bin along with the rest of the extortive capitalist claptrap

  11. Not more #Kabocha photos this time, but carved and painted orange pumpkins ready for #guising - Houses with a #pumpkin outside can expect to be treated to visits from trick or treaters in costume (usually with a joke or something). Didn’t fancy carving a more traditional ‘neep instead (turnips or swedes are much harder).

  14. Please tell me I did •not• just overhear an advert on the radio in the cafeteria voiced by someone with a #Scottish accent (and therefore probably on an actual Scottish radio station) referring to “our trick-or-treat trail”?!!

    It’s #guising you total tumshie!! You certainly ought to ken better! 😒😡

    Whatever they were trying to sell, I sure as hell won’t be buying it…

  19. Having a festive first game of Ghosts Love Candy Too, which so far is pretty good tbh. Silly, enjoyable theme - ghosts haunt guisers to steal their candy. Enough strategy for a light game, reckon all the guisers we saw this evening would love it.
