Durian doesn't really count as uncommon but when I make the hour long pilgrimage to the durian vendor the people on the street have a good giggle at the pasty lady buying them.

Alas only Thai or Darwin durians can be fresh here for biosec laws. Others have been frozen. If I ever have the money to take a holiday overseas I'm going to travel to malasia just to visit a particular farm a family friend knows the owners at. Ahh durian, the trancendental joy, the lobes of heaven, the sublime satiator.

I'm painting. PO gave the door hardware the landlord special that made them rust, so now the bedroom has spiraled into a week and bit job. Looks great so far, and once I get the 'robe done with new brass and the trim redone in jarrah it'll be my little sanctuary. Pic relates

I love the green walls! I just had my carpets removed and engineered wood installed but I had people do it because there is no way I would have been able to pull that off. I like the privacy screen on the window too, great job!

<3 It's had a mixed reception, all cool people love colour. My goal is a home that feels warm and lived in, where a stranger would feel comfortable putting their bag down anywhere.

Since I'm a degenerate who failed at capitalism I have a lot of time to learn how to do jobs around the house. If my body was in better nick I'd aim for something like a fitter and turner apprenticeship. Always loved labour but not work if that makes sense?

Oh actually, black sapote is extremely uncommon here, had it once. Excellent fruit. Jabuticaba is slightly more common and stellar too, living next to the usa seems bad bat at least you south Americans get excellent fruit in compensation.
