Halloween!

OoooooOOOooo! Halloween! In the spring!

Halloween doesn't coincide with pumpkin season in Australia (nor are Australian pumpkins suitable for jackolanterning, unless you want severe knife wounds), so we did it Melbourne stylee, with a watermelon. Carving was the easy bit. Emptying the watermelon first rather more difficult.

Dracula menaced virginal maidens!

Jennifer Love Hewitt ghost-whispered with Dobby!

Erm... the pirate captain faced Death without fear!

A witch doctor had a nice cup of tea with a little devil and Montreal Canadiens top French goalie, Cristobal Huet... I mean, fearsome slasher Jason Voorhees!

And the pirate's parrot dazzled us all with colour and dancing!


Sadly I have no photos of the scary mummy, swashbuckling first mate or scintillating little pixie, but lack of physical evidence doesn't mean they don't exist.

Random spring photos

Jason eats a custard donut at Gleadell Street market.

Hamish looks photogenic after a BBQ on the Yarra.

We go back to the Grampians and eat an entire cherry danish for breakfast, and Jason meets a curly dog at an olive farm.


Melanie goes to the Cook Islands but can't remember where she has saved most of her photos, but here are some nice ones she took of the beach.
