Day 10 ~ Snow Day III

Its getting beyond a joke now, it is our day off today but becasue we have missed so much of the week already we decided to try and go to work, well as you may have guessed because i'm here typing this we were unsuccessfull, got stuck in a snow bank couldn't even get out of the parking space. next door but one had a big transit van thung and they were in front of us trying to move must have took then 20 mins to break through the snow and then cars were comming up the road and they had to roll back and got stck again must have been another 15 mins before he could set off, we tried to use his tire tracks to get out but cos his van is wider we just got stuck. we gave up.

its only 11 am and i've already played on the Wii fit plus and now my feet are freezing. just been looking through the SW book and there are loads of free food that i have no idea what they are so think i google them

Babaco -Never seen it before  from the website belowe says it tates a bit like pineapple or Kiwi, and it appears to be a variety of Papya and it looks so pretty would love to try it.

Cashew Fruit - Strang looking things look a bit like peppers to me. The greeny brown things are the Nut, Wikipedia says the "apple" is very sweet and delicate and unsuitable for transport, the Nut is really a seed!

Custard Apple - i have heard of this but didn't know what it looked like or taste like. i like the look of the pink ones but not sure about the other ones
