We have an apple tree in our compound but never eaten even one single fruit. There are plenty of apples though, at one time a Dutch couple came over and we invited them to pick everything. It's just not the same when eating an apple from a tree compare to buying one from the supermarket. Funny...back home we always pluck any fruit from any tree and eat them straight. May be we are just not used to seeing apple trees. On top of that we not really apple lover.
Today the kids had a round of badminton game on the street in front of the house. It's very quiet today with hardly any car passing by even though it is Saturday. Just a few days ago I saw a car specially equipped with 360 degree view cameras passing by our street - it is one of those cars taking photos of street view for Google Earth and Google Maps. Nowadays one can 'walk' and view streets on Google before even visiting the places. That's what we did on a couple of occasions in the past to plan our trip to a number of cities. Sometimes people are caught in awkward situation when the street views were taken - so it is good if one sees this car passing by to stay indoor. It will probably take weeks or months before we could view our street on Google. Most of the main roads in Holland have already been done.
