| In our defense, it was a team of 3 (three) - after all free-flowing wine for the emperor |

| No problem at all. Do feel free to let me know at the last minute though if you suddenly find a spare hour or so; Dr K is going to be attending a conference in the Promised Land, leaving on Boxing Day, so I will have more flexibility in the evenings than I sometimes do. And I know exactly what you mean about mixing various flavours of furrin. We have given up trying to weed out of our ideolect all of the back-translations of useful Norwegian words that didn’t exist in English before we created them. |

| Even if it’s deductible I wouldn’t want an extra nostril off an accountant either, thanks. |

| Godamnit it, I’m an accountant, man, not a doctor! |

<i>The three nostrils thing was an emergency alteration</i>
... Oh, I see; your talking about a pumpkin. Never mind. |

Anna; I’m not in a position to rule it out, and it would certainly be great, but the schedule is likely to be low on slack. I will keep you posted in any case.
Richard; We actually tried to follow the stuck-on outline from the (Dutch!) supermarkt, but it turns out that also hollowing it out thoroughly for soup compromises the gourds structural integrity, and not in a good way. |

Sheer chance, I have to admit. The three nostrils thing was an emergency alteration...
Strongbow? At least it’s not Diamond White, I’d guess. (Tru fact - all the off-licenses round me have big stickers on the window claiming not to sell cheap cider. I live in a classy bit of London.) |

| Signing in. Sorry to hear re; deafness! Sounds like quite a Twinkletree, however. Do let me know if you have a spare afternoon and wish to spend it other than with family; we or at least moi are here for the whole duration, and not always at work. |

Mrs T; It’s good to have confirmation at a distance, thanks.
Richard J; The trend for Dutch teevee to start featuring commercials for Fucking Strongbow is frankly less encouraging. (Fucking Strongbow!)
We have had more than one(1) offer of Real Apples for next autumn’s appeldrank, which will be really proper scrumpy if we get it together to accept.
Also, your Hallowe’en pumpkin came out rather better than ours, we regret to say. |

Ah, scrumpy...
The recent trend for some Angleeskii puby to start selling proper cider on tap is a good one. |
