I need those lemons.
I noticed when I walked along my driveway a squished lemon was on the concrete and I'd just bought lemons at the supermarket today because I like a dash of lemon in sparkling water. But lemons are $1.20 each!
I looked over his fence and he has a lemon tree hidden by my tree. I climbed up the garden wall as far as I could get but I can't reach them. **bleep** it.
Soooo ... do you think a nice handwritten note 'if you have any spare I'd love a few lemons every week' popped into his letterbox would be ok? We only know each other by saying hello 'neighbour' in passing. I'm way too shy to knock on his door. He's a nice elderly gentleman. A couple of times he's jump started my car last winter but only because he was out the front in his garden and noticed I had a flat battery.
I'm a little wary of getting too friendly with my neighbours, retired Greeks. Last time I got friendly with one he wanted to take me off to Greece for a naughty holiday. Fingers down the throat *arggghhh*. The other retired Greek guy on the other side knocked on my door last year and wanted to come in. He started trying to muscle his way in through the front door. I firmly said no and shut it. Nowadays he behaves and when he see's me he passes me pomegranites over the fence.
But I want lemons! This neighbour is lovely but I'm still wary.
How do I get these lemons? Does "I want your lemons" mean "come in for coffee sometimes *wink*"?
Bottled lemon juice is out. I've already considered it. All bottled lemon juice contains sulphites and I'm allergic to it.
Anyway ....
I've been cured of my lemon addiction. I've been having lots over the last few days and now my teeth hurt. It's happened before after a lemon binge. I have sensitive teef.
Hmmm I may start drinking herbal ice tea.
