the making of jack

Last week was the Allhallows Eve + All Saints Day, and us being in a festive spirit decided to make a Jack O Lattern. There was a mixed feeling amongst the Brits professing that this Halloween business is all American, and showed their malcontent by boycotting the event. However, as one American lady said on the radio, 'We didn't order you to celebrate it, did we?'
S drew Jack's face, E did the first cut, and to quell my barbarian traits I scooped out the pumpkin seeds and slimy bits with bare hands. What fun!

Jack's life expectancy: 5 days. Just threw the mouldy thing away.
