Just made pickled beetroot and am drying herbs. Maybe get strawberries tomorrow for jam, I would like to make raspberry jam but despite my raspberries spreading across the former lawn, I never have enough for jam (it might be my fault for snacking on the way to the greenhouse every morning! Tomatoes not ready quite yet, and chilli plant is thriving but no flowers yet. About to make a foolish for baguettes and maybe add basil and parmesan before baking tomorrow morning?
Football is full of surprises with Germany and Netherlands knocked out after penalties – it seems a harsh way to end a game, corners, fouls, could. be better? Germany looked to be extremely hard done by after VAR review of their “goal”. But that is football. FIFA must be hoping England, France, Portugal and Spain remain in for the next round, also Brazil (through) and Argentina, otherwise viewing figures and travelling fans will be diminished!
Trump lose battle with courts to deny birthright citizenship – he also lied (again) to say that the USA was the only country to have this – Canada and Mexico do as well, although not much of Europe look at a map to see why! And he did not get the court to throw out the accusations of sexual misconduct – so he now owes $5 million plus court fees and it is confirmed that he is a slimy rapist.
