Every October I try to watch a series of scary/eerie movies. Last year, the theme was the first film in horror franchises from the 80's and 70's. This year, the theme is going to be foreign films.

So please, if you know of any, recommend scary, spooky, or autumnal films that are not in English.

October's theme is SPOOKY poems.

The Sleeper by Edgar Allan Poe

At midnight, in the month of June,
I stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,
Exhales from out her golden rim,
And softly dripping, drop by drop,
Upon the quiet mountain top,
Steals drowsily and musically
Into the universal valley.

Wish everyone a wonderful October!

I did not do a monthly planner spread this month. I didn't feel the urge. This is a spread in my collage book. I used up 95% of my Halloween themed materials in my cards so this is some of the last bits.

Word Count for September: 18491

Writing: I did manage to do the 10 out of 20 challenge at

sweetandshort this month.

OCTOBER: woo! The High Holy Season of Ficcing is upon us! So many things: Kinktober, Whumptober (such good prompts there), and Spook Me. We're gonna be busy.

Reading: 5 books. Autobiography of Miles Davis, an Agatha Christie, a Tracker (Jeffery Deaver), an Agatha Christie, and an Anthony Berkley audiobook which was new to me which I found on YT. Anthoy Berkley hated women and life but he knew how to plot a mystery and he was Clever so I enjoyed it. He can really do the 'this scene/set of clues could mean 4 different things if you look at it/them from different angles' which always sends tingles up my spine.

OCTOBER: I have to do the review for the 22nd on

booknook.

Crafting: So I hunkered down and did all of my Halloween cards and a special craft project. So 13 cards in total. And 5 spreads in addition to that.

Fitness: 16 days of Yoga with Adriene. I ordered a new pair of running shoes for the 5k in November but they haven't come in yet. I tried pickleball and Pickleball Paul complimented me on my form. Maybe he's being kind and encouraging but I've NEVER been complimented on anything athletic in my entire life so that's kind of amazing. But I am the exact same weight I was at the beginning of September. Sadness.

Personal: Dealing with uncertainty at work. Getting used to the new car. School going into full swing.

On y va to October!

I should mention this before I forget: I was in the US for a bit! But now I am back in Australia.

The US contains many friends. And also sea lions. But different sea lions.
