(first – the fruit follow up – Dragon Fruit is quite tasty somewhat close to the kiwi family in flavor. It is crisp, not quite sweet and the seeds are too small to bother one. Having said that, it was fun as a “one of try” but not something on which I would spend 2.5L for two on any regular basis what so ever. When I am in an exploratory mood, I splurge on one surprise fruit to try from the grocery).

On a day which was not accompanied by any useful work (read a lot of paperbacks) I decided to check on any local effects of the volcanic ash on the local sunset.
