Does fruit and veg drag on?

For 2023 - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Do we eat enough fruit and vegetables? I think I'm - personally - borderline with the recommended "five per day"; I take it as a flag to remind me that I should watch my diet in this area rather than something I keep careful track of - and in any case why should an apple and an orange count as "2" whereas 2 apples (or 2 oranges) would just count as 1.

The flag has encouraged Lisa and I to have a delivery, every 2 weeks, of a vegetable box containing whatevers in plentiful supply at the current time of year, augmented by a number of other tempting, weird wonderful and unusual things that we probably wouldn't pick off the shelves for ourselves. This thing on the left (do you know what it is?) has appeared in this week's box - together with instructions - and I was left with a choice of "should I eat it or protograph it? You see which option won out ... but I guess I can now go off and eat it if Lisa hasn't already done so.

[[Oh - it's a Dragon Fruit which is why there's that dreadful pun in the title of this item. G and S fruit, who make up and deliver the box, may be found here]]
