JUICY 2

11 years ago I wrote a post (see below) about juice and used a video clip 'Juicy' which aunties YouTube and Google took down.  JUICY


Here's hoping it will stay this time as it's a good (if rude) song: 


I hope that this ones sticks (see what I did there?).

Anyway, as I mentioned a while ago, after giving the orange tree at the rear of the house a good pruning, it came back bountifully and we've been enjoying orange juice for a while.

The problem is that the tree was planted by the previous house-owners in the wrong place and it overshadows one of the bedroom windows and obscures the side of the house.


This morning I gave it a severe haircut as you can see:


I'm sure that it'll grow back again with perhaps even more fruit.

We can now also see the stingray sculpture again.


I got a lst load of oranges before the pruning and will make up some juice mixing with apple, kiwifruit and carrot. Yummy.

Yes I can see your delem..problem. It blows my mind that you can grow oranges in NZ at all. I like the stingray ornament.

"I can see your delem."
I'll have to be more careful in the future.

You should have mentioned putting in rivets. That would have made it a riveting post.

Or staples given that detail is a 'staple diet' of my posts.

Not to forget nuts and bolts as my posts are comprehensive.

Hey! I almost forgot clips as in what you deserve around your ears.

Which leads me to screws and you know where that's heading.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Are you saying that you won't put the screws in for me?

Ah, damn it! I'll just go and screw myself.

Maybe not the best post for getting lots of comments. I can teach you, so don't worry.
