Fruits of thy labour......

So on quite possible the coldest day of the year in London, I was enticed to a somewhat impromptu Hawaiian-themed evening, which was to involve exotic fruits, Hawaiian shirts, surf videos and pizza (I had to forego the Hawaiian shirt, not being quite dressed for the occasion, and Hawaiian shirts being against my religion... I did overdose on pizza, though, having had a whole one for lunch too....). Marks & Spencer's Simply Food, being the plastic store that it is, didn't so much have fruit that wasn't already cubed and cellophaned, let alone exotic types. Still, we did what we could with one pineapple and a few boxes of canteloupe, rubbish mango and watermelon.

I got to play with Japanese steel (yay!), so as you can see, it all got a little out of control. Just a shame we didn't have any cocktail umbrellas:



I'm thinking of taking a fruit carving course.... anyway, suffice to say, I'm much better with a Japanese blade than I am at World Rally Championship, which involved 'driving' on an icy track in snowy conditions somewhere in Sweden while listening to Alpinestars. My PS2 thumbs are a little rusty, so I'm dusting off those controllers.... bring on Gran Turismo.
