You'll need:
A Pumpkin - about a £3 size one bought from that dodgy looking bloke in the layby.
Two onions. One red, one not red. Because that was what we had.
One clove of garlic - you can always wave the rest of the bulb at vampires...
Bit of ginger. Yes, that's a proper measurement - 'bit of'.
Get your Melodeon Master to take the top of the pumpkin, volunteer to scoop all the rubbish stringy bits and seeds out of the middle and then get as much of the flesh out of it as you can. Stick fleshy bits in a saucepan.
State your preferred design and watch your Melodeon Master carve the pumpkin. Jolly sharp knife and mind yer fingers. Ooh, I've lapsed into pirate speak...
Cut onions, smash garlic and chop ginger. Bung in saucepan. Add salt, pepper and various other herby spicy things that I don't understand except apparently it involves the bay tree in the garden. Obviously you need your Melodeon Master to do this technical bit. Add some water ('some' - another proper measurement). Cook.
Whizz up in whizzer-upper.
Stick candle in pumpkin.
Light candle.
Stand back and admire...
It's a cat. I asked for a bicycle but it seems the Melodeon Master preferred doing a cat.
So, you're wondering about the lack of anything cycling or running related, eh? Ah, well.... seems that bike smack was harder than I thought. I've got bruised ribs and they really hurt if I do anything strenuous, like breathing.
