Aw, Bollocks...

I've got a very slight funny sensation going on about my lips... definitely a lot less than with ordinary green kiwi fruit, but there is a kind of dry and sticky way going on, and I'm very "aware" of my lips (if that makes any sense).

No itch though... Not so far, anyway...

Wonder if that means my sensitivity to the things is getting worse? Bugger, if it does.

It's funny, my sister gets the same reaction if she eats raw mushrooms... but they're okay cooked...

Isn't the human body weird?

Here Comes The Science Bit...

My Dear Blog Readers, you join me at the zenith of a new dawn in scientific research (nope, I've no idea what I mean either, but it sounds good)...

Still on the subject of Kiwi fruit, and a total coincidence occurred tonight... years ago, our Somerfield store (or probably Prestos as it was in those days) once had a different breed of Kiwi fruit, which were not so hairy, and had a more gold coloured flesh than the usual green ones... and for some reason I could eat them, and I didn't end up trying to shove my finger halfway past my epiglottis to scratch the roof of my mouth for the hour afterwards.

Well, I was in Lidl tonight, and they had gold Kiwi fruit! So I bought some.

I'm now sat here about to subject myself to a science experiment... my tools are around me - a napkin, a teaspoon, a sharp knife, and a Kiwi fruit...

At worst, I'm going to be sat here typing one-handed as I try to scratch somewhere in the region of my brainstem, and at best, I might have a second one!

Wish me luck, guys!

For Nev...

Here's Nev!

It's not a very good photo, but that was the camera on my phone, without a flash!

You can see where he lives though...
