The Big Fruit Box

We had a special delivery box today!!!  There's a big grocer's shop in Brighton called Taj and they recently started doing food boxes with free delivery with Brighton and Hove and one of the boxes they is a Fruit Box.  Normally £17.95 but you get 15% off your first order.  So we did!!!
It came today!!

What's in it?!?!?!?!

OH WOW!!!  We got four banarnanas (bit green so they're warming up on the windowsill) an avocardo, three plums (yumm!!), bunch of grapes (they won't last!) two green granny smiff apples that I'm sitting on, two pink lady apples and two gala apples (we think)

And over there is a big orange, a little orangier orange, a big lemon (gin an tonics!!) and a lime!

We also got two of these but we have no idea what they are.  Any ideas, folks?

We also got two of these, individually wrapped in plastic.  No idea what these are either.
But we're proper pleased with this Big Fruit Box!!!  We can snack on this stuff and not worry so much about putting weight on!!!  (well almost!)
AND it was free delivery, too!
Andrea's having a gin an tonic now with a slice of lime in it.
I think she's happy....!!

 Well, first post of 2013, and it's the updated grafitti'd cable box collection!  The first three were from my last walk around town in December....... and I've spotted some more new ones since!!

 This is the side shot of the Christmas tree below.....

We found another three grafitti'd cable boxes recently - two more badgers (they used to be the Blue Meanies posted lower down) and another cassette lord!









We spotted five more grafitti'd cable boxes recently, so have now made a point of photographing them!!
We start with a Blue Meanie.

These are special buses called "The Big Lemon" that run out to the University.  They work on cooking oil instead of petrol!!!

Another Blue Meanie.... They painted this over the Dino Rox Box.  George is Very Upset.

This one's the newest, I think.  It's a Lemur!!

 This one has a portrait on it!!!

 And this one is a snowman!!!!!  And he doesn't melt in the sun either!!!

 The side had a happy christmas message on it!!

 I think this one's my favourite!!!  We see this one from the bus when we go to work!!!

I think they made this one specially for George and Dilly!!!

 Numbers as well....

This lady was found in near Churchill Square on July 22nd 2012

 This is a new grafitti box that I walk past on the way to work!!!  Found in Brighton in April 2012

And this one, after the Dino Rox Box, is my favourite!!
