I'd forgotten quite how difficult it was to cut out a pumpkin, a task not made any easier by our total lack of sharp knifes. But after 20 or so minutes we were left with that scary chap on our kitchen table. Might even make him into pumpkin soup tomorrow. So it's a multi-purpose pumpkin in the truest sense of the word.
I've made a rather fantastic discovery. The Sports Centre here is running gliding classes! For €90 you get a complete course in gliding in a nearby town. That strikes me as fantastic value, and to say I'm keen would be an understatement, Amadeo and Javi are up for it as well. Just need to find out whether they run the courses in English and we'll hopefully be away, or up-up and away as the case might be.
We had a rather funny moment in the supermarket earlier today. Determined to finally recycle all of the glass jars and bottles in our house we took them to what we thought was the glass recycling machine in the shop. We tried to put the bottles in, but it wouldn't take them, and only after several attempts did it swallow one. We settled down for a long haul only for a guy to come out from behind holding the three bottles we'd coaxed down it. Apparently it was only for plastic bottles, which I guess might go some way to explaining why we were having trouble. Still, they seemed to think that it was funny, and we did get €0.75 in coupons for our efforts.

That's a pretty cool pumpkin. Weren't you tempted to "pimp" it though?
