I haven't even got one sentence into this thing and I am already desperate for a milk chocolate Bounty and a cup of tea. Bear with me while I put the kettle on.
That's much better. I'm not actually a fan of dark chocolate, but I do have a soft spot for red Bounties. Nevertheless, that was a blue Bounty and it was still delicious. Me and coconut have always had an understanding. I can still remember Simon Groom getting told off in a viewer's letter that the list of ingredients for his Blue Peter recipe had misspelled the "desiccated" (and I'll confess, I relied on autocorrect there) in desiccated coconut, yet I can't remember what the actual recipe was for. I also remember the amusement on a school trip to the south of France from pronouncing noix de coco ice cream as "knocks di coco". And on one of them there dating sites that, yes, I've put myself out there upon I've mentioned coconut rings among my favourite biscuits. I also smashed one to bits with a hammer on my back doorstep when I couldn't break into it with a drill. I'd say I had a soft spot for coconuts, but clearly 'soft' isn't the word.
All of which is preamble for me confessing to the fact I've fallen for the hype and gone and bought an iPad. Well, am still buying (will be for the next nine months...) You know, it probably wasn't the most necessary item on my list of things to get (paging Doctor Washing Machine), but I tell you - comics look blinking amazing on it in HD. So there's that.
I thought I'd do a test run at blogging on the pesky thing. Hmm, the app doesn't have any handy linky things. Let me try and insert a photo.
Those are actual rings made out of coconut, accompanied with a spooky disembodied hand. Of course, what I was referring to was this delicious alternative.
So photos don't seem to be a problem. So when I'm out and about I might just use this although it occurs to me that it would probably be just as easy to use the web page on Safari since the screen's big enough. Blimey, this has been a bit of a dead end, for you and for me, hasn't it? If I am going to get back on the blogging horse I'd better be a bit more lively than this. I wonder if I can save this before I go with something spectacular?
Great - last minute save. Apparently Coconut Crabs are the largest arthropod.
Come to think of it, I seem to remember reading about them in my 'Man's Conquest' magazine.
Although I was disappointed that the cheesecake model was just an attractive young woman and not an actual cheesecake - ho-hum.
Here's one on the crabs having a bit of a scuttle.
More soonliest.
