We've moved

Last supper at the Vaucluse :( Farfalle, leftover roast pork, and one of the bags of peas we needed to eat from the freezer before we defrosted it for the move.

First meal at Lennox Street! Breakfast, naturally.

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.
