Not sure it counts as good news really, but I carved a Glasto themed pumpkin today and it didn't turn out too bad!

That's impressive stuff WestCountryGirl. 

I've only ever 'done' a pumpkin once before. Mine looked a little like this;

 

I failed to win any prize in the competition that it was in, but the waiter at the restaurant I was in, informed me that all the staff (bar the manager) liked my pumpkin best. That was good enough for me.

That is very creative and indeed quite scary, which is what a jack-o-lantern really should be I think.

I see where you are coming from, but no, I didn't. This happened a very long time ago. A time when I didn't even know of the existence of efestivals.

Yes, I believe that it was called the Jurassic period. I'm the only dinosaur left now!

Today in Melbourne we had our first double donut day in months - zero new cases, zero deaths. At our peak on one day in July we had a similar number of cases to the UK. Today our 14 day average is under five. The premier has copped loads of shit from the Murdoch press and the national government, but the hard lockdown has paid off. 

Tomorrow is my final day in a job that has been making me miserable and I start a new one in my preferred field a week tomorrow, so I have a week off. 

And to top it all off the pubs reopen on Wednesday, the first day of my inter-job break 😎

That might be a little ambitious ... I wonder if we have any other pumpkin carvers on here ? We could do a little comp  .... although that bar has been set incredibly high ...

You have the tools ready to go ... with those nails you can dig the resale team an entry tunnel ... so a pumpkin will be no challenge

I like the dancing man idea - a lot. Not too sure what Arthur the crow reference is. Is it yet another thing Glastonbury related that I simply have no idea about?

Arthur the Crow is a virtual meet thing. It’s a mystery user than shows up in a crow mask occasionally. We haven’t worked out who it is yet. 
 

All are welcome to join the virtual week. The Halloween special this Saturday is a perfect chance to remain anonymous for those wanting to keep a low profile
