NO incentive ...

... to leave the house today.
Max = 1.5˚C
Min = 0.2˚C "on the shed end".
All day; no shopping needed, didn't budge apart from wandering around room to room to get a few paces in.
All my life these were known as Persimmons. Then, suddenly, they turned into Sharon Fruit.
Once I started to take notice it became apparent that:-
If they came from Israel they were sold as Sharon Fruit.
If, however, they came from Spain, or anywhere else, they were labelled "Persimmons".
Whilst checking the number of "M"s; and in spite of being aware of them for decades I found this:-

"Our fruit bowls are becoming more adventurous. Having embraced the kiwi, the mango and the pomegranate we are now, it seems, passionate about persimmons. Supermarkets including Asda reported sales of the yellowy-orange, usually tomato-shaped fruits more than doubled last year to more than 4m, making them the fastest-selling exotic fruit in the country".
