November
We eventually finished off the few loose bits of candy left over from Halloween but there are still two big bags left which we will probably donate to Ben and Kitty to share with their friends the next time we see them. Speaking of leftovers, we still have plenty of pumpkin flesh left because most recipes involving pumpkin only require a small amount so even making the delicious pumpkin pie and pumpkin ice cream the forecast ahead is definitely ... pumpkin.
We managed to get out of the house quite a few times this week!
On Tuesday we went to see Rebecca Loebe, supported by Raina Rose at her CD Release Show at a club in Arlington and it was good to see them again although the set was too short. We stayed to hear a couple of songs from the next group and managed to get home at a reasonable hour for a school night.
On Friday Helen picked me up from work and we went to the cinema to see Men Who Stare At Goats which was absolutely brilliant and apart from the last couple of minutes very unlike a normal Hollywood effort, but then it was produced by BBC films.
On Saturday we caught the Metro to Arlington Cemetery and strolled around in the most glorious weather for November and visited the Kennedy Graves, Arlington House and the Tomb of the Unknowns. Afterwards we headed into DC for breakfast and a stroll around the west wing of the National Gallery of Art for a few hours, wandering in and out of lots of interconnected rooms. We needed to have a decent lunch after all the walking so found a microbrewery in which to recoup; and I wish I had a few more beers to help numb the pain of watching England and Wales get beaten by Australia and New Zealand respectively.
