Fruit is good : I like all of that lot
And bananas, kiwi fruit, mango, raspberries, oranges, grapefruit, cherries...
I like all those too Can never be bothered with oranges and grapefruit though 
The OH doesn't eat much fruit
In fact, I can't remember the last time he ate any

I'm with you all the way except for the cherry! As you haven't said, I take it that you don't put sugar on grapefruit? I don't and I once told my mum "I like my grapefruit to fight back!"

No, no, no sugar on grapefruit!
Or on any other fruit (eg strawberries)...
I don't eat much tinned fruit, but I do sometimes like tinned grapefruit segments in their juice
If I eat those, then it's no to sugar, but if I cut a grapefruit in half, then I like sugar on it. If I'm picking strawberries out of a punnet and eating them, then I don't like sugar, but if they're served up in a bowl with a spoon, then cream and sugar is a must. I bought a load of strawberries this evening. Some are to eat straight, some are to have with cream (and sugar ), and some are over-ripe to put into smoothies. Yum.

Hope it goes well for him. Kate finishes her GCSE's tomorrow. I can't believe I am old enough to have children old enough to leave school if they wished. Where on earth did the time go?
Still, got to do it all again in 8 years time.

It's even worse when they actually have left school! Eldest was 25 this week - scary!

Parents races at sports days should come with a health warning.
My computer speakers seem to be picking up some sort of French radio station! they've done this before when the firemen were down our road putting out a garage fire, because the speakers were picking up their walkie-talkie thingies! ARGHH!

Because they are moving, but I'm starting on the fourth now, which I'm rather dubious about... Maybe I'll cry at the quality of this one.
Wahoo! Just got A* on Chem. practice paper for science module on Monday.

Just a bit grumpy ATM. The captain for my cricket team is like 'I will let you know if you are needed on friday'. In fact he texts me 1 hour before the start of the match and it was an away game quite a long way away.
Humph... I ended up not playing and I think they are currently playing with 10 players. Deserves them right!

An old aquaintance I've not seen for years emailed me (dozens) of photos of their baby born yesterday. It's honestly the ugliest baby I've ever seen 
!!!
I will congratulate them of course but I also deeply hope that its face straightens out with age (no, there's nothing technically wrong with him, just ugly).

Leeds is looking particularly lovely at the moment - the trees are at their best and there are so many tree-lined roads 
Yay! I just got 71% on a physics practice! Gone up from 61% which I did earlier today. I've revised the things I got wrong since then, and will do for the test just done.
Hopefully after a few more hours revision it'll be up at the same standard as it's easier siblings, biology and chemistry
Only another 20% more to get up!

Are we speaking of Harehills or Adel here? Do a Streetview search for 76 Harehills Avenue Leeds. It's one of my favourite streets to drive down in early summer - there's a park on one side and the trees form a canopy over the road
And then there's the fantastic willow tree at 2 Stainbeck Road Leeds, on the corner of Meanwood Road
... and Moorland Rd Leeds in the University area... and...
There are lots of tree-lined roads in the inner Leeds suburbs, and I like trees

No this is seriously ugly - it has tiny squint eyes, a ping-pong ball chin, cheeks like a sumo wrestler and its nose is folded in half between its eyes... like it's been chasing parked cars or head-butting bricks....!!!
But its parents are lovely people
(and immensly intelligent so it'll be okay )
