Hampstead Halloween party

Went to Alex G's, Kirsten's and new girl Tally's Hallowen party in the apartment they rent in Hampstead from Kirsten's parents. I did a combo of Ghostbuster's T-shirt, hunchback (pillow in rucksack shove up T-shirt) and Urban Legend with a parka and a (toy) battle axe. Some of the best were Two-face/Harvey Dent by Ama, brilliant with two ties, two watches (one flash, one normal), the half tidy/half umkempt hair, a silver leopard on one lapel, with the fake fur (held by safety pins) on the same side, half-shaved face and also a pair of sunglasses with one lenses removed long before this party was conceived; and Viki's Cruella D'vil. The only possible showstoppers against this were the Two Johnny's (though separately inevented), one as Edward Scissorhands, and another as the character from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the emphasis on fear). When Simon Savory arrived in his boiler suit, sans ice hockey mask, but with a toy Armalite gun, the party really became an impromptu nightclub.
In the morning, I went to church while the others slumbered. It was on Archway Road and above the name, it had Church of England, but, if that's the case, it was the most high church thing I've ever been to; maybe the name, St. Augustine's of Canterbury, Highgate, was a clue. It had the incense (no bad thing), the fixation on the Virgin Mary (dodgy ground) and even a prayer for the pope! I'm all for ecumenism, but some of the Roman Catholic credo makes me uncomfortable. Then it was back to the flat for some breakfast-cum-lunch after helping with the tidying. I left with Alex Goff and his Reading friend, Gavin, and departed from them at King's Cross, as they went to Wembley for the sport and I went home.
