An Apple a Day

To the editors at About Time.

Congratulations on your 12th issue.

One year seems so fast when you look back on it. I look forward to each and every issue. Thanks again.

I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and, as a result, I am allocated one extra piece of fruit every day. So the daily fruit ration might be bananas. I will get one banana and an “apple”. In fact, the real bananas thing is I always get an “apple”, never ever anything else. And I am not being narky or anything, but, ever since I have had an “apple a day”, I have not been able to see the doctor once. Lol.

Thanks guys. Warmest regards.
