    Been out in the garden twatting apples and pears off the trees. Very hot work on such a fine day.

    Three big bags full, ready for the bin men to cart away tomorrow.

    Couldn't get to the little buggers hiding on the topmost branches. Will have to wait for a few windy days.

      Are they not edible? The apples & pears I mean, not the bin-men.

      It seems a shame to bin them.

        I did think of Cider, but it seemed like too much hassle.

        I'm more of a grape, tangerine and banana man myself.

        Apples and Pears only work for me when they come in tins (with added custard.)

          Why knock them of the trees rather than wait for them to fall off? Seems a lot of effort to fill a bin.

          Also - surely you must have at least one friend who would like the fruit, or at least one neighbour who won't think it's a trick?!

              Because the little blighters are cunning! They sit there, refusing to budge, and then all come down on the same bloody day - leaving me with a clean-up task of Katrina-sized proportions. Best interfere with nature, I figured, and start the fall from grace for at least some of them a little early.

              Contractor with a friend? Does not compute...

              Neighbours have the same problem as me - except ten times worse. We seem to be living in the centre of this country's biggest orchard, even though we are actually in London. These little blighters have evolved smog resistance.
