Things that I've learned about myself while living in the bush (Part 2): I do like watermelon after all

Not much further explanation needed there. I've been mistaken for years, thinking it was a useless, tasteless, complicated fruit that is not worth the hassle. But I'd never tried eating it at midday in Africa, at the hottest hour, after a farmer has kindly donated us one. Yeah, it's still a complicated fruit in my opinion and I still question whether all those seeds are really necessary, but it tastes damn good there and then, and it invigorates like nothing else. It turns out that I'd misunderstood watermelon all these years.
