Tonight provided the first two members of this series, that may well run and run. We let the last coconut dry up and go off before we got around to doing anything with it. Tonight Katy wanted me to get the milk out of the current coconut so she could put it in the food she was cooking. The older three children all helped a bit, but I had a fair amount of finishing off to do which was interrupted by calls to my mobile phone (phone in one hand, coconut in the other):
- The removals people arranging delivery of the piano tomorrow;
- An American colleague phoning from a customer site in Germany (on his American mobile phone – chart the course of that phone call in your head
) asking if I could be on a terribly important phone conversation at 8 a.m. UK time tomorrow (my day off, because of the piano…)
I will keep you posted with further phone conversations had on my mobile while getting milk from a coconut – maybe I should collect them together into a book or something.
we’ve got a cocnut – bought a couple of weeks ago. Must get the milk out. Will attack it with an auger tomorrow.
