Fruit or Veg names that rhyme with ‘Hex’

category: food & drink

A quick visual scan of the Wikipedia listings of fruits and Vegetables confirms that no common produce rhymes with the word ‘Hex’. 

Tonight I’m investigating tomatoes.  If I leave these for a couple of days they might go all ’squishy’,  but you didn’t really need to know that did you?

Making lists is more fun than tidying

Post relationship clutter has invaded my dining-room table.  A space that was previously under control has subversively developed a magnetic power for things that normally live elsewhere. 

What things? 

If you’re feeling extremely bored spend a few minutes trying to spot the following things in the photograph. 

  • birthday card & present for Swedish friend
  • housewarming present for recently moved friend
  • Package of summer from eastcoast friend
  • open book (Marilyn Monroe quotations,  sharp lady)
  • camera-case
  • UK adapter power plug
  • mug of tea
  • beer bottle (Samuel Smith’s Nutbrown Ale)
  • pile of unopened mail from organisations
  • collection of documents providing guidance on how to review papers for a conference.
  • print-out of conference papers I’m reviewing.  This helps me to make colourful doodles on them.  More satisfying than scrolling through a .pdf file. 
  • vase of roses.  Hooray,  how pretty they look.  How sweet they smell.  I have to keep an eye on the kitties though.  Kitties love to eat roses.  I’ll try and catch a picture of them browsing the blooms…

  • 2 closed books (Adam Nicolson,  really must start reading it again…) & Mervyn Peake’s ‘Letters from a lost uncle’.  Great bedtime story…
  • 2 sketchpads sat on their carrying-case
  • 2 plastic bags of legal documents (preparing a will)
  • 2 Laptops (Tinkerbell on your left & Work supplied)
  • 2 bowls of ‘produce’ (green & orange - like the roses).  Produce is beginning to fascinate me….
  • 3 colour pens.
