Note:
My diet has been 100% raw vegan since 12 Jan, 2011. No supplements used.

Wed 27:  cantaloupe 1340g,   grapes 1350g,  mangos 500g,  tomatoes 530g. (9.30 am: 24°C/76°F/76%, perfect)

Thu 28:  cantaloupe 1200g,   grapes 1320g,  mangos 300g,  tomatoes 320g. (9.20 am: rain last night, now 23°C/73°F/71%, clouds from the south will take over for a few hours before the sun takes the upper hand as usual these days.)

Fri 1:  cantaloupe 1170g,   grapes 1350g,  mangos 450g,  tomatoes 670g. (9.20 am: 22°C/71°F/71%, perfect)

 Note: the mangoes eaten for the last week have been “peach” mangoes - small, yellow, soft, sweet - a special sweetness - by no means stringless, these strings are to be reckoned a plus as their sweetness goes on just as strong to the last satisfying drop of flavour, when one thinks the work on the strings has been well worth the trouble.

Sun 3:  cantaloupe 1400g,   grapes 1020g,  tomatoes 500g, Mazafati dates 45g, chard 150g, Brazils 25g. (11.20 am: 26°C/79°F/70%, perfect, a warmer March day!)

Mon 4:  cantaloupe 1500g,   watermelon 2030g,  grapes 620g,  mango 510g,  tomatoes 420g,. (11 am: 27°C/79°F/75%, perfect, but hot)

Tue 5:   watermelon 1000g,  grapes 1760,  mango 510g,  tomatoes 230g,  chard 130g. (9 am: 25°C/78°F/75%, perfect)

Wed 6:  cantaloupe 1050g,  grapes 1400g,  mango 510g,  tomatoes 500g, chard 70g. (9 am: 24°C/76°F/75%, perfect with North breeze.

Thu 7:  cantaloupe 950g,  grapes 1390g,  mango 510g,  bananas 280g, tomatoes 380g, Mazafati dates 20g. (9 am: 23°C/75°F/76%, turned out to be a day of changing cloud patterns and breezes, with little sun)

Fri 8:   cantaloupe 1280g,  grapes 830g,  banana 140g, tomatoes 280g. (8.20 am: 22°C/72°F/80%. It’s been raining quite steadily, but has stopped for the moment. Could clear up, or rain more.) - It didn’t clear up, and it did rain more. I got caught in the rain without umbrella or anything over my shirt, so it got a bit wet. Just a bit too wet for my liking, but I didn’t bother to take it off - too lazy.

Sat 9:  watermelon 950g,  grapes 620+900+880+980+880g,  mango 407g,  bananas 280g, tomatoes 500g,  Brazils 40g. (1.30 pm: 23°C/73°F/67%, windy, sunny)

Eating these nuts destroyed my last front-tooth capability of eating nuts. From now on I shall have to use artificial teeth to eat nuts. Such artificial teeth, such as electric and other mechanical grinders, will not be allowed inside my mouth. For the moment, a simpler and quieter solution is use a pair of pliers, which crush almonds, cashews etc very easily and effectively. I don’t plan on eating large quantities of nuts anyway.
The molar remnants that I have still work for fruit and greens, for which they meet well enough, but not for nuts.

Mon 11:  cantaloupe 1360g,  watermelon 1100g,  grapes 1080g,  mangos 840g,  tomatoes 300g,  nuts 3g. (11 am: 25°C/78°F/67%, perfect but very hot in sun)

I’m still reading Delderfield’s many thousands of pages. He’s hard to beat for wisdom, maturity and balance between objectivity and emotion. Broke into it to read Bella Bathurst’s “The Lighthouse Stevensons”, an incredible yet true picture of human wickedness and tenacity in the face of it.

Walked up the hill in military base. Many games of castello these days.  Read Kauffmann’s ‘Dark Room at Longwood’, an evocation of St Helena island and Napoleon.
