When Life Gives You Lemons...

Make a Jack o' Lemon. It's not easy carving a lemon.

 

I'm not sure why YouTube doesn't give you an embed option. Try clicking this.

I tried my hand at making another Sweet Potato lantern, but I bollixed it so I made fries instead. 

 My Alien avocado sort of worked.

It hatched!

I just happened to have a Bermuda Onion, so I gave it a carving.

 

And another unembeddible video. (With added sizzling of the onion guts being fried.

I took these to school today, one of the students drew a face upon it.

 

A few of the students did indeed do their homework and wrote a ditty for me.

No tv or movies today, I took a long afternoon nap instead. Here's another comic book though:

 

I bought this at an antique shop in Sendai a few years back. Sure it's water damaged, but it's nice to have a copy again. (I sold mine decades ago and got a pittance for it.)

I also had this one... Sigh, if only I'd hung onto it.

We all had a good time in my lesson today and these Oni sure know how to party! (Not sure what Hump removal is.)

 

That's it for now, tomorrow is a Sports Day event and I shall be playing volleyball against 20-year olds. I should get a bit of sleep beforehand.

I'll leave you with a fellow member of the Countdowners, this Lady is Lady M and she has lots of cool pics to share.
