our fruitfull life

is yummy and sweet just like most of our fruit is. sweet as the best quality of the mighty durian. mango says i am a good girl :))) that is also sweet. well, life is guaranteed to be sweet when two sweet soul twins, are sharing the fruitarian lifestyle, eating fruit and only fruit day after day after day, and not getting sick of it, on the contrary, we as time goes by are falling in love with it, and not only with sweet tasty fruit, but also with each other.

sweet mango has finally, after a long break, gotten into writing his raw vegan fruitarian book, he is writing almost every early morning, and at times on and off throughout the day, at least for a month now. he is very pleased about it. so am i.

mango is also very pleased with me, and i am very pleased with myself, because i have also gotten into writing my own raw vegan fruitarian book, which i began writing a few years ago already, but then i lost all texts due to a big bang on my laptop, where the old one died and new one was born in some computer factory and we bought it on ebay, well, to be precise, mango did because i am not very computer savvy. loosing my texts was not easy for me, and it took me a while before i got into writing again. i believe that mango's great example inspired me. i am writing now mostly during the mornings and at times a bit throughout the day and also occasionally at night. i am enjoying it more than ever, and always when i finish my writing session my spirit rejoices in euphoric glory. i am writing in english, and i am going to translate the whole book into my mother tongue, czech language.

what else is new? well, our old car, a toyota camry made in the year 1990, is having some technical difficulties, we were told at a garage that fixing it would cost a lot of money and therefore we were lately looking for a better second hand car. it was not as simple as it may seem, i am very fussy and i would not have a sedan, i like only station wagons, on top of it, i need an automatic and power steering, not out of fuss, but it is required by law, because of my disability, i drive with the help of hand controls. we are lucky we have an expert for such modifications right here in mareeba. well, we have been looking for a car for a while and there was always something missing on the ones advertised in our local paper, or as is popular here on the side of the road. and one night, just as i was loosing patience, being no longer able to drive the old toyota, due to the power steering being a bit stiff, and i love driving, and the break from it was is getting a bit long, i thought to myself, i hope that our new car arrives soon, i am sick of looking for it, i want if off my mind. and guess what, the next day, after me and mango returned from our joyful swim in the near by river, mango was looking in the local paper he had collected from our mailbox, and soon after he said to me: "look there are two cars for sale" i looked at the adverts and my intuition made a choice for me, i could feel that one of those cars is ours. i said to mango: "please ring about this one" while pointing out on ad for a daewoo nubira station wagon, and he did, and after a short chat, i was not happy with all the info he gained, so i rang as well, got the info i needed and off we drove to a garage in atherton, about 30km away, where our new car was having a windscreen changed, it had had a rock flying in accident. as soon we arrived and i saw the car i said ok, we are bying it, i fully believed my strong intuition plus the car was exactly what was on my mind, lol. the owner was a typical aussie friendly easy going guy, and the whole transaction was easy and without fuss. because the car was not registered, but had road worthy papers, registering would be easy, but until it was, the car could not legally drive on the road. as luck had it, the car owner had his towing trailer with him as he had towed his car from ravenshoe in order to have his windscreen replaced, about 30km distanced from atherton. well, i asked him if he could tow the car to the mareeba car registry office, and he said yes, he had brought with him all the necessary papers as well. so we gave him our mobile number, then we drove to the bank and got the cash out, went back to see the guy, gave him some deposit and off we were on the way back to our home, picked up the forms at mareeba car registry, and at home, having fruit juice, waiting for his call, drinking juice filling up the forms and it didn't take long, he said he is almost there, so we jumped in the car, went into the office continued filling out the required forms, and when we finished, mango went and began processing them with the clerk, and very soon the car owner arrived, he gave us the papers needed to finish it all, mango gave him the money and taking the car from the trailer said his goodbyes and left. after a few minutes all the paper work was done, and mango was driving our new car and i followed him in our old one. mango said the car is very smooth powerful and easy to drive.

this story reminds me of my strong intuition, and how important it is for me to follow it, to enjoy smooth path of my existence. i don't need to worry about anything, just be, live in the moment, with faith, that all i need is going to be surely provided.

me and mango are often swimming in the river, not far from our house, and it is always a great adventure. i love to swim on my back, looking at the skies and trees, butterflies, dragonflies etc. the river current has lost some of it's strength so i can swim much further, exploring new natural beauties along the way. and it was mango who noticed first a big wild fig tree very close to the river, loaded with still green fruit.

sun is shinning and love is growing, so are fruit trees in our garden.

me and mango, we are enjoying raw fresh fruit and we are drinking most of it, red or yellow papaya is on our menu almost daily since we moved up to tropical north, we also have daily orange juice, at times it is citrus fruit, made of mandarine, grapefruit and orange mix, at times only orange grapefruit, or orange mandarin. we also drink often orange pineapple juice, at times we mix banana in it as well. sometimes we have tomatoe or tomatoe cucumber juice. i am sure we are drinking other fruits but i can't think of any at the moment. we are eating avocados mixed with tomatoe and cucumber all pealed. at times we add red hot chilli as well. occasionally we enjoy jackfruit, black sapote, yellow sapote, and mighty durian. yum, yum, yum.

all is good in our fruitfull fruity life,

life is beautiful



i am harvesting sweet coffee berries



me and coffee berries at mareeba



fruitopia in red



i am reading from my laptop in our living room big bed

since mango

began pointing out all my old habits of incorrect english grammar, i find it more difficult to write in english. i am very glad that he is teaching me, but i've built a little wall, preventing me from writing more often, which i would really like to be doing, so i am facing some english writing dilemmas. and there is another obstacle in the way of my english writing. each time i write an engish text for my blog, i would like to post it immediately, but that's just not possible, i do not feel comfortable posting it with my mistakes, and i have to wait for mango, when it suits him, so's he can correct my grammar mistakes. we do it always together, so i can see what i am doing wrong, and it is a useful part of my learning. the process of my learning is a bit slow, because my incorrect english grammar is very old and very engraved in my brain. so these are the reasons why i do not write much any more. i am hoping to work on it and tear those walls down and write more often.

the truth is, the time is near, when i am not going to have much time for writing. i am leaving on the end of this month, for some time to see my family and friends and will be really busy with little time for any pc stuff. i would use it only for keeping in touch with mango.

me and mango, we are enjoying a lot of yummy fruits, enjoying sharing our fruitarian lifestyle. we are eating mostly red paw paw, lots of akee - our other very favorite fruit on the top of the list of our favorites right next to the magical durian. fresh durian yum, yum, yum. passion fruit, we ate heaps of white nectarines, but their season is almost over and they are not so tasty any more. we are also eating a lot of a very sweet grapes, very sweet and creamy cucumbers, yummy tomatoes and avocados. we are eating a bit less of rambutans, lychees, jackfruit, mangosteens..

we are drinking lots of oranges, cucumbers at times with a dash of tomato, grapes, apple and orange, pineapple, rockmelons and sometimes watermelon, but i drink more than mango, he is not so keen on them, and i also drink watermelon rind all by myself.

i am sure i forgot some kinds of fruit we are eating, drinking, but i do not want to sit here and think about it, i just want to keep on writing.

the garden is very happy, we are getting a fair bit of rain with yummy sunny breaks, and we are happy too, watching all our plants growing slowly everyday. the first cucumbers are going to be ready for harvest very soon. today we were admiring tiny babies of akee trees. lots of paw paws coming out as well, and some small paw paw trees transplanted from fruitopia that have picked up and growing very quickly and they are healthy. we also planted and are watching tomatoes grow. soon after we moved into this house, i got some nice big aloe given to me and three of them are ready to flower soon, and some of them are having babies. our garden gives us a lot of beauty, excitement and fun.

we enjoy swimming in the nearby barron river. i love rivers, i spent so many years by the coast, that i forgot about how much they used to mean to me. i am grateful to have them back in my life.

me and mango we live happy, peaceful fruitful fruity life

life is beautiful



local durians and other yummy fruit in our house



i love to arrange our fruit and take pictures.



akee, yummy yum

the place on the earht called fruitopia

got its name when one person bought eighty acres of previous tobacco plantation and transformed it into his dream; a big fruit orchard, because he loves fruit. he has been living here and growing fruit trees for six years now. true, some mango and lychee trees were already growing along with the tobacco earlier.

just before we drove off from sydney toward our fruity dream, we were invited to visit fruitopia, and its kind owner let us stay for some time. i am sure he would let us stay longer, but before we appeared here, he had already promised the accommodation we're living in, to some family who are supposed to soon move in, and therefore we will have to move out, and go on, even though we don't have a clear idea where, and we have one month left to look and find a new place to live.

a few days ago we went to have a look at a place where we could move to in two weeks time, and if we don't find something more suitable, we will surely move in there, just for the time till we find a place witch may suit more or fully our needs and dreams

even though fruitopia is blessed with two thousand fruit trees of many kinds of fruit, and raw fresh fruit is my daily food, i am looking forward to move out. there are surely differences between fruit orchards. i am not enjoying looking at the fruit trees which are unhealthy, because they do not grow in healthy soil. on top of it, there is not enough people living here to take care of so many fruit trees. most of the trees are choked by tall grass and numerous weeds, which are happily flowering and after flowers produce an abundance of seeds and thus happily and joyfully continue multiplying.

and why is the soil so unwell? well, previously the owners were for growing tobacco for financial profit for forty years, and to earn as much money as possible, their goal was to achieve the biggest harvest possible, because greed is never satisfied. but on the contrary, the more it has the more it wants, and therefore the harvest had to be each time bigger, and that was possible only through feeding the soil more and more with strong chemical fertilisers. and with the soil it is the same story as with the human body, because we are dust and in dust we will return, and if our body and soil is not fed properly, it get sick and dies in suffering..

and therefore we are harvesting some fruit from Fruitopia already mouldy and some will get mouldy very fast after harvest. on top of it, the fruit is not sweet and tasty enough, even though it is fertilized by so called "natural" fertilizers in the form of granules, which i do not personally perceive as natural, and the soil has not yet had long enough time to strengthen and heal itself. in addition, the granules used for fertilizing consist of blood, meat and bones of dead animals. and that is not all, the fruit trees are sprayed with a fish paste from dead fish, diluted with water.

oh, yes, for many years i have been aware, that i am unaware of what treatment the fruit i am living on gets. and that is one of the reasons why i and my sweet mango are looking for a bit of land, where we can grow our fruity food as we wish, the vegan way. we do not want to eat fruit fertilized with dead processed animals or chemicals.

through the land of fruitopia, there runs a beautiful creek, the way to it is very steep. awkward steps have been built to get down to it, and despite my walking difficulties after a serious spine and spinal cord injury i am able to get to and from it, but i cannot get in to the water as the big boulders on the creek shore are too slippery, so i could slip into the water with ease, but it would be impossible to climb out due to the slimy surface. so i have no reason to go there. more so, because even the way up would be so difficult for me, that after refreshing myself with a swim, and climbing all the way up the steep hill, i would feel like i wanted to jump in the water again to refresh my self, so i would find myself in a vicious circle, thus i gave up on the idea of swimming down there.

luckily only five km from fruitopia in mareeba centre, is the lovely barron river, and me and mango, we found there a nice private place for swimming, that no one seems to visit, because they have a better place further up the river :) so that is our swimming place for now on, but our ideal is to live on a piece of land with some kind of water feature not far from the house, so we could swim a few times throughout the day, because swimming is for both of us a big life joy. only recently we went to get some yummy fruit at the market in the cute little town of malanda, and because when mango is driving i always look below every bridge we pass by to see the water i love so much, i noticed that malanda has a lovely river with a beautiful waterfall, and therefore straight after the fruit shopping at the markets, we returned there, and swam with joy in such an amazing place, but even before that we had a yummy durian picnic in the sun. yum.

well, i am curious as to where we are going to end up when our time here at fruitopia is over.

we do not eat much fruit from fruitopia, even though some fruit is edible, for example jack fruit, ice cream beans, akee and peanut butter fruit and rarely paw paw. but most of if before it gets ready it turns mouldy, and me and mango, we do not eat mouldy fruit. we both believe that mould is poisonous and therefore not healthy. i've noticed, that a lot of people cut the mould off and eat the remaining peace of fruit. i believe that such fruit has the mould spores throughout it.

well, it is once more a long note, so i better finish it.

life is beautiful
