The case of ransom banana.

I entered the empty kitchen this morning, not more than a bit sleepy. I took the cellist to the 'late' Aberdeen boat (ferry) last night - in stormy E'ly's - I didn't envy her the journey. As it happens they were delayed and got in hours late, pretty bumpy by all accounts. Poor lassie. She's awa' tae her Dads for the holidays.  Anyhow, in my bleary state what greeted me? A loving note or card? The remnants of the unwashed supper dishes? A floor full of teenagers laundry. No. Much worse.

I found a ransom note on a banana.

Exhibit a - the ransom banana.

The ratbag, um, I mean the dear absent cellist has stolen our latest [shared] book and in its place left a ransom banana.

Mwhahahahahah
I stole the book to read over the holidays!!!
I will finish it first!
And yes, I wrote this on a banana :-)
Love yah!
 
Exhibit b - the ex-ransom banana.......

And, yes the cellist is utterly insane. No idea where she gets that from.............ransom banana's indeed. I will exact my revenge be assured, however I won't hurt any fruit in process!

Well I guess in the Northern Isles - we make our own fun eh?

    Haha, priceless I love it. Revenge can be sweet. How about you get the book and read it then send her the last paragraph on a postcard. She wont expect that!

      Oh I could except the french postal system is so bad she'll probably never get it and she doesn't do technology (eg fb or internet). I must think harder...........let me just let you all know, the fruit bowl stays empty from now on. Teenagers of today - Graffitti on banana's - whatever next?

    My dear, I aspire to produce a child with the wit and imagination to think of inventing the ransom banana! I didn't envy Hazel the ferry last night it was a wild one :(

      Cat be careful what you wish for. She's asked for an egg timer for xmas. (Because they are pretty and help you study harder). And she's had previous for ransoming a duck bath mat. I think she has issues.

      I think she's been out in the wind a bit too often.

      Boat - no not good - didnt' get in for hours and she missed all her connections. All fine now though. Poor lamb.x

    Banana tree would be nice wouldn't it. I hear they grow them in Iceland or Greenland - I think its Iceland with their geothermic heat.

    She's certainly 'unique', so perhaps she's a banana off the old plantation after all.

      Thank you Linnew - I've consulted the hounds (who don't like banana's) and if they are to visit you, they do require a boat for passage, so I'll let you know when I procure one. I may use the cellists allowance to this end.

      And, mostly she looks so innocent. Looks can be deceiving.

      She's one of a kind, that's for sure. I blame her father entirely of course. :)

      Indeed Robyn - she's caught me out by getting a good mark in her Chemistry this week. Clever indeed. I have access to her boudiour for two weeks - and she doesn't see this as an issue - silly silly girl!

      OH JTS how she laughed like a lunatic when tackled about her crimes. She's safely in France for 2 weeks. So chuffed with herself. Dangerous girl that one!
