Back in July I moved into my own place. Just a small one bedroom, but good enough for me. The rent was within my price range, and it's a 15 minute walk to work. This makes it a very convenient location. From the street, the property is quite impressive with a front lawn that looks like you could play golf on. My place is an addition tucked away at the back.
One thing that I noticed after I moved in was that there was a banana tree right where we park our bikes (there's another apartment next to mine). Let me tell you, bananas take forever to ripen! I've been watching their progress over these past months. They came out in June/July, and have not seemed to ripen. I was worried that there was something wrong, but I've been told this is normal.
When I got home this evening, my neighbour pointed out that someone has stolen our bananas. Our single bunch of small, green, unripe bananas. Who would do such a thing?! How unfair is that?! We will probably never find out who has done this as the building next door is a cancer centre.
Whoever you are, how mean of you! (As if they might be reading this...)
However, what I'm really looking forward to is for the avocados on the tree down the drive-way to start ripening – this should be in about a month. I adore avocados, and have dreamed of having a tree where I live so you can imagine how happy I was to see this. We had better keep an eye on this, in case the fruit bandits come for these!
