I will be watching, too.
But am more interested in the announcement immediately following the match.

Cheddar is probably the most versatile, but also the most variable of all the cheeses.
A good extramature farmhouse Cheddar is unbeatable, but at the other end there are many that taste of nothing or of plastic, there are too many processed varieties that are a crime against cheese and even spreads and aerosols . BLEUCH!
I have only experienced winter in Germany a couple of times, but I think it gets colder than the south of England, more comparable to the north, perhaps.
I spent one whole winter in Poland which was really freezy, never again.
Though Poland is beautiful in the summer.

I have read that cheddar cheese needs much time to "mature". But food should be sold fast today. No time to wait for a cheese for getting old and yummy...
I think winters in Germany are slowly getting warmer but a good working central heating and a wood stove too are the best way to stay warm in winter.
I never will imagine a winter in Poland. The land is beautiful, but too cold.

FUN FACT.
When the first supermarkets opened in the UK, customers were afraid they'd be told off or arrested if they touched anything.
Sales were low.

Which year was it, the first opening of a supermarket in England ?

1951, i think.
But they's had them in the US for years before this.

Jodie Whittaker

I am unsurprised that Dr13 is female. They dropped plenty of hints in the last series and especially in the last programme

Yup, I am quite happy with that.
Don't know anything about her except she was in Broadchurch with the same Executive producer.
She's a good actress it seems.
We'll wait and see.

Shame about the Wimbledon final.
Federer just too good and poor Cilic out of his depth today.

I'm just off to play some music in the bandstand of a local park. Nice way to spend a sunny summers evening!

I felt sorry for Cilic too. Nice that Federer win his 19th slam in SW19 though

And now the mixed doubles...

Jamie or Heather?

In the game Truth or Dare or Tortoise, I first chose Truth, and now I've chosen Tortoise!

Although I had done a lot of research before I got Elsa, I don't think you can EVER really know everything you need to know to be a good tortoise parent. Elsa really enjoys Arts and Crafts, and she's actually pretty good. I was letting her experiment with decoupage, which involves cutting and gluing paper.
We had no mishaps, but I'm very glad I was warned "DON'T LET YOUR TORTOISE RUN WITH SCISSORS!"
Elsa was disappointed, but she's very good about it. She wants to try painting next.

Yes I do too! I like the sax too but the clarinet is best. I play in a community wind band and it is such good fun. We have a training band for beginners and then the main band, the youngest players are probably 12ish and the oldest well into their 80s!

I love that sort of mixing age, gender, class and so on.
Triffic.
