A cartoon by Tom Gauld showing an evil scientist in her lab, angrily filling in documents. Her lab is full of esoteric stuff, body parts in jars, skulls, arcane books... There's a corpse in the background, waiting to be awakened by a complex machine. The cartoon caption reads: "Janet had not imagined that being an evil scientist would involve quite so much evil paperwork."

Setting out all the random Halloween decorations we made a couple years ago, ready for tomorrow's annual Spooktacular.

Because sometimes kid's crafts are the best tool for the job!

Not pictured: More cardboard cutouts in the other lamp, and a load of very simple origami bats stuck to the doorframe 🦇

A group of three white ghosts on a mantelpiece. The back two are made from air dry clay, one taller than the other and their eyes are lit up by a tealight inside. The one in front is Sebastian, a smiling needlefelted little squidge of a ghost.
A tall floor lamp with simple cardboard cutouts of pumpkins and a snake stuck to the inside of the shade and visible in silhouette. The bulbs have been changed to red, casting an eerie glow around the surrounding walls.
A group of three pumpkin ornaments, surrounded by small squat black and orange candles, sitting on a wooden surface. The pumpkins are all very different, the largest is made from air dry clay and painted in black and white stripes. The other two are both orange, one tiny needlefelted pumpkin and a crocheted one somewhere between the two sizes.
