OK, now I've got your attention, I want to talk about mangoes.
It's Mango season in Cairns, they are hanging off the trees wherever you walk. Unfortunately the season clashes with the flying fox breeding season, so you have to be careful walking under the trees at night. A mango dropped by a flying fox from 50 feet can seriously damage your skull! I just picked a couple in the park behind my place, big, red and delicious. I was gonna eat them with ice cream, but what the fuck, they were so nice I couldn't be bothered opening the freezer. You can buy them from fruit stalls along the main roads here for $8-10 for a box of about 20, (about 3-4 quid) my daughter in London paid 7 quid each for them last year!
Mmmmm! I know you'll all be pleased for me.
