Do you have any suggestions for October?

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Once again it’s time to nominate your words for (Something)-4-October.
Does anyone have any ideas for what goes with 4-October?

As always It could not be easier…
Simply Nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (the more times a word is mentioned, the more chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for the oct13words.

Please make your suggestions for ‘??-4-September’ between now (22nd) and 12 mid day next Saturday (28th) for them to be included. As always, if you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: 11th Egg (World Egg Day) or 16th Word (Dictionary Day).
There are loads more to choose from here: October Holidays.

The bonus words for October will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Libra, Scorpio (star signs) as well as Tourmaline and Opal (birth stones) so you do not need to ‘suggest’ those.

Thanks for the heads-up Graham. I'm thinking of taking October off (which made me think of Off 4 October- lol- as your title. But then you could do ON 4 October.) but who knows what will strike my fancy. I'm sure you'll come up with a clever list- you always do!
