Halloween

I bought a big pumpkin for 2 bucks and made a Jack-O-Lantern out of it. What else to do when it's Halloween? But no food get's wasted in this household (a valuable lesson my Mum taught me when I was a kid and probably one of the few I took notice of)! So I scooped out the yellish pumkin flesh and made Pumpkin Pie and litres of pumpkin soup (I like mine with fresh parsley, carrots, tomatoes and ground cumin for a bit of a zip).

People have been wondering how our cat Nyfiken (Kneefucker when I'm angry with him) is doing? Difficult to speak for him. Guess in a way he must miss our garden and the trees and his cat buddies from the neighbourhood. But I guess cats forget easily so ...
He spends most of his time eating and sleeping, chasing his toys around the flat, waking us up by jumping on the bed at 6am and for no obvious reason doing a little sprint from the front to the back of our appartment (a straight 25m).
So I bought him a little treat: cat grass. Immediately he started munching away.


He likes to gaze at the pigeons and squirrels outside. And at night he dreams about tearing their raw warm flesh straight of the bone. (My idea of Halloween for Nyfiken).

Dear E & T!
I am so happy for u! Nice to see that everything went ok and that you are pretty much settled down. The blog looks really good (I had a feeling Eric might start working on a blog), and believe me I will be checking it out a lot!
Nyfiken is a big boy now! The pics are so sweet....as far as I see he doesn't have any problems on the new territory - a NBKanadian :)
Keep on writing! Good luck with work and at the University!
ah, good old Europe is just not the same without u 2 :-p
