Today, I went on a long mulberry walk in the vicinity of Muskrat Cove (PDF link) and filled up four sizable containers, and mah belly, with the delectable fruits. By the time I got home, my right hand was as purple as the robe of a monarch:
It took a bit of scrubbing to get the anthocyanins off, but in the end I had more luck than Lady MacBeth (who was framed).

Off topic, but a few days ago, Monsieur McGravitas posted a biography of Rowland S. Howard of The Birthday Party... I've been listening to a lot of Nick Cave's stuff lately. Thanks, SMcG!
Heh, saw the title to the post on blogroll, clicked through thinking I'd drop some Nick Cave and um thanks!

Glad to see you voted, BBBB.
I voted for Moqtada al-Sarah.

There are enough mulberries littering the ground, I could just roll around and bepurple myself.

I made sure the poll-watcher was colorblind.
