feijoa season
From Wikipedia:
The Feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana, synonym Acca sellowiana), also known as Pineapple Guava or Guavasteen, is an evergreen shrub or small tree, 1-7 m in height. It comes from the highlands of southern Brazil, parts of Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. They are also grown throughout New Zealand (emphasis EB).
The fruit is usually eaten by cutting it in half, then scooping out the pulp with a spoon. The fruits have a juicy sweet seed pulp, and slightly gritty flesh nearer the skin. The flavour is aromatic and sweet. If the utensils needed to eat it this way are not available, the feijoa can be torn or bitten in half, and the contents squeezed out and consumed.
Oh my, yes.

Dome cinema
How we watch movies in NZ
By the way, see Headhunters---norwegian film of a Jo Nesbo novel. It's a thriller, and not about nice people, but very well done. Think 'Thomas Crowne Affair' meets 'Fargo' but without Marge Gunderson.
