With mistletoe and candle green, to Halloween we go

[sovay]

I have not yet collated or uploaded any of the photographs from last Saturday's Halloween party. Nonetheless, I took a few tonight.



The tarasque is a shy beast.



The sun is anyone's prey now.



Happy Halloween.

You want a small sharp knife. You slice the top off with a big knife, and hollow that with the small knife, then stick the small knife in and whittle out blocks, not even thinking about eyes etc until you're well into it. The swede/rutabaga you remove goes into soup.

I've done this lots of times, but I don't do it any more because North American Halloween is so unpleasant for so far in advance that I never feel like celebrating it at all. My downstairs neighbours have a dead baby on the doorstep -- I mean it's a doll, but... yuck. I don't feel about it the way you feel about spiders, but walking in past it has been distressing nevertheless.

That's not right. It's not a memento mori; it's just unpleasant.

My goodness, that's deeply ugly. You've my sympathy--it can't be pleasant to live so close to folk who find that cute, or funny, or whatever it is that makes them think such a thing is worth having on their doorstep.
