10th March 2009.

This is some sort of fruit tree in my garden.

I’m in Hobart. We’ve been exploring on foot. Things like the Salamanca market, which I’ve grown pretty fond of. I don’t buy much there, just bread, falafel from “The Taste of Persia”, and coffee.

And, elderberries are ripe for picking. Wiebke can’t help herself and raids trees wherever she sees them. I have purple hands from stripping the fruit off the stems.

And the weather is really hard to pick. Two days now I have gone out wearing pants, and wished I had shorts on. Both days I’ve also been caught in drenching rain.

Yesterday we went to the market at Sorell. Lots of stall holders that only have a few things for sale – I can’t imagine they’d make enough money to pay for their time.

We also found a little wetland and a great beach with rocky outcrops at either end. Both the wetland and the beach reminded me of Sale, in Gippsland.
