We have an avocado tree in our garden. It’s manic and temperamental. Some years we get five avocados, other years its a couple hundred and I end up dispensing crates of produce to everyone that I know (and deem to have been reasonably well behaved)
I’m like an avocado-santa.
This year the harvest was more even-tempered and middle of the range. Of course when your fellows are feeling expectant having once received a cornucopia of deliciousness, handing them each just a smattering of an anticipated bounty doesn’t draw the same measure of appreciation.
I briefly think about turning this into some sort of analogous tirade about broader economic ideology and the human condition… but I’m tired now having poked a big-toe into the migrant labor experience.
I (probably) need to go and have a nap. Because I’m old. And all this balancing, coordination and fresh air has taken it out of me. I also got stung by a bee. An African-killer-bee, not your namby-pamby European or American Anthophila, albeit through my t-shirt and so didn’t get the full on death-effect. Although I don’t seem to be allergic anymore, so totally less dramatic.
On the whole not a bad haul. Although I don’t think I’m going to quit my day job just yet. As much as I really would like to. (I am so done with this entrepreneurship lark) But that’s a story for another day.
In the meantime, in an (imaginary) world where the currency is Avo-on-toast, I am ballin’.

I never liked avocados as a kid. And eggs. Right into my 20’s. Now I can’t get enough of either. Thank goodness we are allowed to change our minds!!

Avocados and cannabis. The cornerstones of civilisation… and maybe Tim Hortons to prop up the third side of the Maslowvian Pyramid. Why do I feel I’ve wasted my life with all these other commodities?

If you lived closer I would definitely share with you. And not only because you’re nice… we could trade coffee for avocados. Our own little microcosm of the capitalist system. 🙂
