Busiest day of my Witchy year.
The kitchen staff at the place where Mr BW is woodcarving all week are using the innards of their sculpture for its proper purposes: spiced pumpkin soup for the guests tonight:
I always shudder to think of the amount of good food that goes to waste at this time of year. A reasonable pumpkin soup is about £3.50 for 400g (2 small portions) in the shops. Huge pumpkins are 99p in many places this year. People could make a gallon (at least) of gorgeous pumpkin soup from a 99p pumpkin, then save some seeds to roast as a snack, and some to grow their own pumpkins next year. Come Andy Burnham’s planned catastrophe they will have to…
Trick or treat if I drop by your way tonight?
What will you be doing?

Turning off the doorbell, lights out and watching a good old fashioned horror movie.
I don’t do trick or treat but if any govt. Officials come around during the emergency I guess they’ll make a good soup!
I guess this emergency will consist of Russian / Iranian / Chinese bogeymen rather than incompetent successive governments screwing up gas and electric supplies plus a grid not fit for purpose.

Travelling back from London looking at nothing because I forgot my Private eye which is sitting on the kitchen table.

delcatto – yes.
Debster – Private Eye keeps us sane in this mad world too.

My sons and families came over. Alex did a fantastic pumpkin carving, freehand. I’ll see if I can put it up on my blog, once I get around to writing on it. Everything too busy still and I am on the computer so much that I don’t go to it for fun
