This is part of this year’s harvest of #gooseberries. It’s surprising how sweet they taste despite appearances. All in all, probably close to about 600 g with more to come, which should last a while.

What a good idea it was to drop all legal restrictions last Monday. Which bunch of libertarian idiots thought that one up, I wonder?
