Day 184: 03/12/06 22:02. Well, this scientific exploration has been going on for more than half a year now. All good things have to come to an end. Following audience encouragement, and a brief near-suicidal moment of sheer horror as the experimental exhibit A (former grape) could not be found for a few minutes, the decision has been made to call a halt to it.

From visual inspection, you will see that it looks pretty much the same as it did 121 days ago, which is more than can be said for the Poorhouse. It's still rather too big for your average raisin, but its colouring is spot on. Amazingly, no mould has formed on it, just smatterings of hairy dust from the place under the bed where it last fell.

Onwards!
