The fruits this August

This is a quick post about this month's baskets of fruits from Fruitful Office. One of the things that make me look forward to the first Tuesday of the month. I said yesterday I disliked Mondays. Well, Tuesday, at least one time out of four, is a far more pleasant day, if only for that. It does bring joy in the office, I can tell. People smile more, they chat more, they actually have something trivial to talk about. So the fruits are very popular, as you can see in the snapshot I took of one of the baskets. This months was mainly bananas, apples (green and red) and nectarines. I took one apple and one banana, the nectarine looking a bit too raw. So was the banana, actually, the yellow going a bit green. So I did not have them to accompany my breakfast, like I usually do. The banana I will have tomorrow, hopefully it will have ripened enough by then, the apple I will crunch in a few minutes. All the same, the mere presence of the fruit baskets brightened my Tuesday boosted my morale.

The fruits for July

Today was/is the first Tuesday of the month. This means that the fruit baskets were back at work. I am really getting fond of this monthly ritual, which started in February. It gives me much needed fruits to make my breakfast complete and it brightens my day. Anecdote: I just discovered (by actually paying attention to the label on the basket) that the company that provided the fruit is Fruitful Office. For July we did not have pears, but there were nectarines and clementines added to the usual bananas and apples mix. I didn't have clementines because I find it too out of season in July (I start eating them on November). I took a green apple and a banana, ate the green apple and brought the banana home. The banana is a bit raw still, but I will have it tonight. And I am already looking forward to next month.
