My day

[freddie*rooster]

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

There are some lovely terrace houses around Paddington/Wollahra, I think I mentioned my aunt and 1/2 sister lived in Wollahra, my 1/2 sister owned a terrace house there, nice house but not natural lighting and a pocket handkerchief sized back yard, nice to visit but couldn't have lived there. 

I dont often buy canned fruit, so will take a look at what is around next time we do the grocery shopping. So much of it comes from overseas these days 😞

Oh yes putting the groceries away, nup not keen of that either, no iron done here, dont own an iron lol

Lately I have been picking plums for my brekkie, just have to be careful not to eat too many lol   .....  Might check out cherry trees next season, wonder how long they take to fruit

I googled to try and find Aussie canned cherries but nup none to be found. The ones he got were just the Woolworths select brand and they are sweet pitted, I think they are USA produced and packed. I believe they had a good crop around Young/Orange this year.

I grew up in the cherry capital, picked them for pocket money and also had trees ourselves but I would much prefer a mango or a nice apricot to a cherry!

My Brother had a Bowen mango property at Johns River oh nom nom nom. The nicest cherries I have ever tasted were white cherries they were the sweetest most beautiful cherries.

night all, time to finish watching the tennis in bed

The only cherries worth eating are the Ron's, black and huge!

Will ask my aunt about the canned ones, Young Maid, JD's Jam factory, touristy and restaurant................ my aunt worked there for years during the cherry season, they used to can them.

My aunt's pumpkin soup was a well known delicacy there, lol.

Mangoes are my favorite as well. Sadly the NT crop failed this year, the one year my father was in the NT at the right time

Hardly a Mango to be had and no cheap trays of them like normal !

They had a huge cherry crop this year in Aus.

Evening all xxx

Just rushing through right now, it's just after midnight and it's been a very long day!

Love mangoes I must admit, the down side being that I never did quite learn the delicate art of eating them, practically have to get into the shower straight after, such sloppy choppy wonderful fruit it is though  ...

I do like Australian cherries, and fresh strawberries straight from the farm just down the road, oh my, never tasted anything so good.  We're going to make German cherry pie with Filo pastry tomorrow .. yummers!

Bluecat;  about the catnip, it's growing like mad and flowering, such beautiful little flowers;  the cats will just have to be content with their own stuff, no way I'll let them chew those up ...  

Hoping you all had a good, safe and happy weekend ...    ....... night night xx

Thats half the fun

2 Slices eaten with spoon, pull the skin off the rest and use spoon to scrape it clean, then the messy part starts.

I mostly try to eat them over the sink.
