For hooping. Calm, not cold and not too damp. Stars bright and yet a ring of mist around the moon.

I had a lot of fun with a glow hoop I made the other weekend with some of my glow tape on it. It's surprisingly effective provided it is dark. It doesn't glow in low light. It needs dark. But it's fun. A sort of eerie green light. Super for Halloween. But that's a non-event around here so if it gets a spin that night it will just be me on my own again spooking myself! We got the keys to this cottage on Halloween 14 years ago this year. It was not an auspicious night for us. Howling wind and rain and we came over in the pitch black and found an empty, dirty and very tatty cottage with a water leak when we opened the door. Brilliant! I cried. But it all looked a lot better in the morning when the spooks had gone back to bed.

I also used my psi hoop this evening of course. And I made a genius playlist on my Nano iPod of '80's and '90's pop. Super fun. I loved Frankie Goes to Hollywood and still think their tracks are good when I hear them. "Relax" was anything but with a hoop.
