Day 1.258: Aliens, undressed

It's nice to know that we are not alone in being branded as aliens. Although I think that these alien invaders fit a certain sci-fi mould (it's the one with lots of legs, pincers and eyes on sticks) better than we do. One of my colleagues has bought a costume out of a similar mould (or should I say mold) for Halloween. It's a lobster costume - for her bulldog to wear.

I was at school this evening for 'meet the teachers' night. The best pieces of work on show were the family portraits by all the Kindergarten and First Grade kids. Exile #3's is really good and has E5N1 crawling literally under the rest of the family's feet. At least we were all fully dressed. One of her classmates had drawn a picture which showed what looked like a great party going on with streamers, balloons etc. and the family standing proudly in the middle of it all completely naked. One to cherish for years to come.
