I neither ask much or, in truth, do much. I'm a sitter. I sit. I wait.

Starting out rather naive, I was really pretty green, but sitting, thinking, matures a fellow. I must sound rather lazy and selfish. Let me disabuse you, I'm really quite sociable and have been sitting with my mates, which was nice, but rather sad as, one by one, they got to a state where they were taken by the not-so-grim reaper.

Now, on my own, lonely, unfulfilled, my skin increasingly freckled, I'm well past my best. He'll not want to eat me now!

    Thanks, Michelle. I could have included something about not being able to straighten up, but that seemed a little too sad :-(

    Definitely will, Michelle. Paris in a couple of weeks, then Brussels shortly afterwards..... but I still have stories from earlier I will write up; I've travelled a fair bit. Glad you're interested in them :-)

    Thanks,Jamie...But it's true, so many of these nutritious yellow fruits go way past their best...probably because right now they are SO cheap.

    They're very good for you - loadsa potassium I seem to remember...or is it phosphorus? Something chemical, I'm sure!

    Maybe I'm just clueless, but I appreciate you putting little descriptions in the tags section, because sometimes I'm unsure of the ground you're covering. But, even if I'm slow to grasp the gist, I always enjoy your stories, Neville.

    Thank you very much, Christopher. I really appreciate that. Like you, I just love writing.
