Wilson, his friends and family had a truly Bumper Hallowe'en Haul this year, which W puts down to the threat of Dalek Extermination.
Today he's made a big pot of Spicy Pumpkin and Ant Soup which he says, together with his massive haul of candy, will sustain us for 'weeks, possibly months' – and since he is in charge of food shopping and cooking I have no choice but to believe him.
At first sight Pumpkin Soup and Candy might look like a high-sugar, high-calorie diet, but I predict that I will lose weight on it – within a couple of days I won't be able to face another Daim™ Bar or KitKat™ and the weight will start to fall away...

In a commendable effort to reduce their Hallowe'en Carbon Footprint, everyone has agreed to recycle last year's costumes.
With the exception of Wilson – although contrary to my previous statement his DALEK Suit is made not of metal but re-purposed Amazon cardboard boxes, of which we have many.
The Sink Plunger was a new purchase, but Wilson told me that we'll 'probably' find a use for it, once we work out what it's for.
The Ghastly Group set off as dusk fell, but long after they'd departed I could still hear Wilson's shouts of 'Extermination or Treat!' echoing through the streets.
Along with plaintive pleas to 'Mind what you're doing with that sink plunger!' from Uncle Zoltan…
With Boris' shibbolethic Hallowe'en Brexit now on hold, Wilson has been able to briefly stop worrying about being deported as an Unskilled Alien* and concentrate on the important things in his life: organising his Hallowe'en Costume!
He is in the living room being fitted for his Dalek Outfit, which involves Nërp doing quite a lot of metalwork. I've warned him that if he needs to use his Welding Equipment he must do it in the garden.
W says that although the costume seriously limits his mobility, the threat of EXTERMINATION should sway even the most Trick-or-Treat hating of householders…
Honestly, I'd recommend you to disconnect the door bell, turn off the lights and pretend to be out – that's what I'll be doing!

* "Unskilled" is defined by the government as anyone earning less than £36k/year ($46,500) – eg almost all NHS nurses.
