BORED!

[caddyman]

I am now so far beyond bored that the light from bored takes twenty minutes to reach me.

I have probably written that or something like it before. I have probably written it on a Friday afternoon.

I have just eaten a Royal Gala apple. It was very juicy and all, but the crunch was disappointing and it was sweet rather than slightly tart. Since Pink Lady apples rocketed into equal first place with Granny Smiths, I have not found anything to equal them.

I am reduced to writing about apples to pass the time. Which reminds me in a lop-sided sort of way, when did perry transmute in the public consciousness into pear cider or is there a more fundamental difference that I am missing (other than the fact that no-one ever bought perry)?

I have just failed spectacularly to complete today's super fiendish sudoku in The Times. I am leaving the merely difficult one until the journey home, which I am hoping to start earlier rather than later.

Apple-gate.

You think the Yanks are attempting to control the Pink Lady market ?

It wouldn't surprise me.

I'm going home, I think!

Someone once gave me a 365-day Sodoku calendar. I gave it to Karly who likes the things. The sight of so many numbers, and the notion of popping in so many more to make some kind of numeric sense, filled me with dread - incomprehensible Spock flashbacks!

There's nothing mathematical or arithmetical about them; they would work just as well with letters or shapes. It's just easier with numbers, is all.

There's some manner of cider renaissance going on. I quite like it, there are some really yummy things on offer at the moment. I've never been much of a cider drinker but I have had my eyes opened recently by some quality stuff. Previous experience of the likes of strongbow made me think that cider was for giving your stomach lining a good seering.

I though perry was pear-cider but I could be wrong. What did you think perry was?

Japanese "Ringo" (as sold in supermarkets here, the word just means "apple"). Individually tended, huge and tasty.

Chill lightly, and treat more like a pear. Delicious. Expensive.

AFAIK, Perry has always meant either Pear or "Pear (almost) cider"
