An April of Apples





apple_april

Last month I only ate 11 apples which, when you’re challenged to eat one apple for each day of a a month, is something of a failure.  Based on the graphic above you’ve probably figured out that this month I was more successful.  Here’s what I learnt.

Sometimes apples are watery pap, sometimes it’s like biting into a lemon, most of the time they’re just apples.  Unlike money orgasms double gin something wholesome, the experience doesn’t get any better depending on the number of apples you have, in fact it gets worse.

After seven apples in a day (I had to play catch up towards the end of the month) you want to eat and yet the swirling of seven apples worth of acidic mush inside you suggests that this would be a bad idea.  This explains why it was one third of the ACT diet (apples, coffee, tobacco) that MGM Studios prescribed Judy Garland (can’t seem to find an online reference to this but swear it’s true.  Either that or I’m imagining dieting facts about Judy Garland, and that would be quite probably the gayest thing I’ve ever done).

On a more positive note I have successfully completed another challenge and am the first person in recorded history to actually have my five a day.

In other news, Finance Friday.

Week commencing 20th April (blogged but thrice)

Phone bill and student loan repayment haven’t direct debited themselves which suggests someone somewhere has screwed up.  Thorntons haven’t paid me and NS&I are dragging their tails over cashing my bonds which means my rent cheque bounced.  Oh joy.

PS.  Going to roll out my set of challenge icons next week, so if you’ve got any opinions on what you’ve seen so far let me know.
