Grapefruit

There was somebody on TV just now talking about eating grapefruit for breakfast.

Here's the thing. I could not eat a grapefruit at any time of the day, least of all when I first wake up. My mouth would turn inside out.

Who was the first person to eat a grapefruit and declare it edible? If I was a caveman walking along and finding a grapefruit tree I would taste a bit and spit it on the ground, before running off to warn my tribe (or whatever they had back then) to avoid the poisonous tree.

Terrible terrible things.

In other news, we've just been to see Paranormal Activity 2. Scary stuff. Jay screamed at the top of his voice at one bit and I giggled for about 10 minutes at him. Excellent movie, even if it does ask a lot of the audience in return. Definitely one of the best sequels I've seen in a long time.

I still have some pumpkins to carve. That's the sign of a true enthusiast - pumpkins in November. Oh yes.
