sunday haul

now that it is autumn, there are heaps of

new goods in season, such as persimmons.

 my "1000 foods to try before you die" book

said i should try a tamarillo before i die.

it tasted like a prickly pear fused with a tomato.
it stained my face red.

i also got a beetroot

(something i have never invested in before).

on our way to the supermarket,

nick and i walked  through an artificial forest 

"constructed from an intricate web of transparent
acrylic links and thousands of digitally
fabricated interactive components fitted
with sensors and microprocessors"

the fiber-glass leaves would curl 
& light up if you gently touched the vines
that hung from the ceiling.
