6am. 25 degrees celsius inside the house and out. During the day this temperature would be ideal, at night, it’s just too hot. Sleep is elusive.
So, what to do, to feel refreshed and vaguely awake? Open the fridge and take a bright orange mango from the box of twelve you bought your beloved for christmas. Note that the chilled fruit sits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Peel and slice the mango into a bowl, add a little black pepper and a squeeze of lime for piquancy.
Eat this flavoursome breakfast while sitting under the whirring ceiling fan. Hours later, the perfume of mango will linger in the air.
