And then there was one...

So, how was Halloween, you ask? Well, given we spent six months building a Dalek, and then I found that work had an exercise scheduled over the top of said Halloween, the answer was 'not so hot'... Visions of Tegan trundling down the street had, admittedly, faded at the beginning of October, when she announced she was going to make a dress for the event. [And that dress turned out awesome by the way, all 8 linear yards of it. But this is not the blog for that!]

So, as I was going to be at work for the event, our sad little Dalek had to make do as a static prop...


Firstly, the Dalek surveyed his domain. Slowly and carefully, as even with an inch of ground clearance, he's not really very good on uneven ground!


Hmmm...Do I exterminate the left of the street, or the right? It's downhill to the right, but the pavement is smoother to the left...

 

Guess I should go an lurk in the shadows. Eat your heart out Dracula! By this stage the cobblestones had shaken up several of the quick-fix fixtures, so it was certainly time for a rest.

We left the Dalek out overnight - he didn't do an awful lot of scaring, but while the kiddies were looking at him, Kristal managed to jump out a few impressionable youths, who will never set foot in Casa Harrison again...
