The Friday Five on a Sunday

[nanila]

1. What is your favourite fruit?
   Guava. Close behind are mango, papaya, and sweet sop. I will never turn down a lychee, a peach, a plum, a satsuma, or any berries. Basically, all the fruit.
   
   
2. What is the last book you read?
   Alan Tribble’s “The Space Environment: Implications for Spacecraft Design”. It was a real page-turner. Some good example problems, anyway.
   
   
3. Do you like any of your school photos?
   No, not really. My smiles in them are all pretty fake.
   
   
4. Do you ever blow-dry your armpits to get the deodorant to dry quicker?
   I’m pleased to announce that this has never, ever occurred to me.
   
   
5. What was the last film you watched?
   No, shan’t (tell you).

I love cherries and they have been glorious this year.

[nanila]

Yes! We got some in our Oddbox over the summer and they disappeared in half a day.

Neat answers! I love all the fruit too.

Here are my answers:

1) I love fruit, but my favorites would have to berries, watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, kiwis, and especially apples.

2) The last book I read was The Dark Becomes Her by Judy I. Lin, and right now I'm reading This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron; it's really good and engaging.

3) Kind of.

4) Nope.

5) Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle — it was phenomenal!!

Ooh, watermelon. So good on a hot day!

Agree on all the fruit, with the caveat that I don't recognise sweet sop, so have no opinion.

[nanila]

Sweet sop has soft white flesh and hard black seeds, so you have to exercise caution when eating!

[fred_mouse]

Oh, we get something like that here. I've gone completely blank on the name though. Love it when I can find it.

Sweet sop is new to me!

I don't think it is exported from the tropics much. It doesn't travel well (like guava).

[sabethea]

Your favourites tend to be tropical fruit, I see! I too am a fruit lover, and like tropical fruit, but my favourites lie with berries: blueberries (especially the really sour ones), raspberries, strawberries, loganberries; and then things like grapes and cherries. (Cherries might be higher if it weren’t for the stones, tbh. Being bedbound, and not having a convenient nearby bin, it’s difficult to know what to do with cherry stones.)

Tropical fruit is what I grew up with and I miss it a lot!
