I must say that I'm very disappointed:
1.     there have been no updates on the blissful work in progress, despite
2.     me setting it up so that it's easy (?) to do,
3.     I paid money for the ad to be gone and it's not, (am I super foolish, perhaps so)
4.     the information about a new job for me hasn't arrived,
5.     my pumpkin is going mushy.

Why is it that Japanese pumpkin seems so hard, but cooks so quickly?
and,
Why is it that in Victoria, Japanese pumpkin is not called Japanese pumpkin?

it's a mystery.
