This old advert aptly describes my Halloween. Went to Google and ended up carving a pumpkin and a long with it my thumb (same thumb which got stitched back together in hospital last year when I cut into that instead of a pomegranate). Ended up finishing the job with a spoon (pictured left).

On Saturday James and I dressed up as a tiger and a circus master and went to dinner and a party. Got lots of stares at dinner, some place voted “Best Italian in Sydney” last year and it was terrible. Food took forever and came out burnt. Most pretentious blogs contain photos of meals at classy eateries, so I may have to start doing the same and writing actual reviews.

I was reminded today of how much I adore Berkley Illustrations, and seeing as we are looking for a new home at the moment thought maybe I should give myself an early house warming gift (or two).

Which ones do you think I should get? Other suggestions from the store are most encouraged.
