I've been looking in different grocery stores for the past few weeks, but haven't been able to find a pumpkin. It might still be early, or pumpkins in general aren't a common thing here.

I think raspberries are one of my favourite fruits out there, apart from cherries. They're definitely number 2 on my favourite fruits list.
