Potato harvesting time has come. How do I know? Because a team potato gatherers somehow affiliated with Landcare Research have appeared in the surrounding fields.
I see them in the mornings staring meaningfully into their big potato bags.
It is comforting to be surrounded by people "doing a science" although I do wonder what sort of study they are carrying out.
I like to imagine it's some sort of weird human/vegetable experiment where teen hormones are injected into developing spuds, leaving them to feel deep down in their darkest starches that no one will ever understand them.
Far fetched you say? Maybe. But I know for a fact that there is a breed of mouse out there that has human and jellyfish DNA and can glow in the dark so there!
Is an angst potato really that remote a possibility?
