It was actually Melbourne Cup Day here. A sport related holiday.
It’s a controversial one but whether we celebrate it personally or not, it’s a bank holiday 
Unfortunately Halloween isn’t big here despite what the retailers say, that would be much more fun for me though honestly haha.
We used to trick or treat before everyone got too anti-american to humour the kids, then as a teenager I used to host the funnest Halloween parties even if I say so myself 
nowadays I just make spooky snacks and watch a scary movie with my partner
