Pumpkin abuse & ‘Damnit mum, I told you to get a small one!’
Abi: It’s that time of year… Before I go any further, I just want to point out to our American chums that Halloween is nowhere near the big deal it is in the Yooessay. It’s more of a weak nod as opposed to the full on, horn tooting TA DAAAA! it is for you guys.
If I’m really honest, Halloween in the UK is rapidly approaching something representing a celebration for the patron saint of petty crime and mindless vandalism. It is also possibly the only time of year I make soup that smells better than it tastes.
I opted out of balancing this on various parts of my anatomy, unlike Someone I could mention. There are many things I envy about Seb and now I think we can confidently add “Nasal balancer of Nature’s Candy” to that list. Or perhaps just “sensationalist fool”.

Seb: As painful as it looks.
Mix of grimace and grin.
A homage to week 2.
I really don’t want to talk about this one. It really, really hurt. Let’s just say this wasn’t the first photo, and I was well aware that my nose might get pushed up into my brain…
But hey, it’s 52. Happy Halloween.

I’m still amazed how my pumpkin curves into yours. How lucky is that!

It has taken ten weeks of intensive training to be THIS GOOD. Make no mistake. Week 20 will be MINDBLOWING.
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:34 pmNice photos. Pumpkin seeds are so yummy toasted and salted. And Seb, that does look like a bad idea.
For the record, I didn’t go out for Halloween, just stayed home and ate a lot of candy.

Think I watched a few episodes of Six Feet Under — that’s suitably dark and morbid, eh?
I do like pumpkin seeds. Far superior to any other pumpkin product. Even pie.
