I Peeled My First Orange Today

I never used to eat apples and oranges, except as cider and juice respectively.  Over the last year or so, I’ve started to eat apples, but not oranges.

In Hong Kong, I used to have an orange at breakfast and looked forward to the fresh taste in my mouth.

Yesterday, I bought some oranges and today I peeled one and ate it.  That is the first time I ever have. It was good!

As a child we did have oranges at home, but I can never remember eating one there. Usually, I would have eaten a banana, although I can remember Michael Smith sharing one of his oranges with me whilst watching Spurs.

I also remember the time, when my mother bought some blood oranges and my sister peeled them all and didn’t eat any of them as she thought they were off or something.

  1. Hi James
    Is that the Michael Smith of Minchenden? Any idea whatever happened to him? somewhere I have a photo of you both in a punt on a school trip. Will look it out for you!
    Hope you are recovering well. David D

  2. Yes!

    I haven’t seen him since Liverpool, but I’ve done business with two other Mike Smiths since. One still owes me a lot of money! Perhaps not legally, but morally!
