Here in the Swiss Alps it's 36C, 97F in the valley. It's 28C, 82F at our holiday home in the mountains. It's perfect, hanging out on the terrace, enjoying cold beverages and Southampton '73 But it's too hot for mountain hiking

Yesterday we took a terrific road trip with the car over Grimsel and Furka Pass (2,427 metres (7,963 ft)). Awesome serpentine mountain roads and I love driving hairpin turns.

Greetings from the Swiss Alps Reichenbach Falls:

Fantastic pictures. Is this a frozen lake? Wonderful perspective photography. I like the Saloon, too.

Not at all, CP. But the chocolate was delicious. And people were buying it like crazy.

Certainly a love of my life. And I can't believe I bought the LP 40 years ago (well, maybe just 39.5 years ago) Cheers

I liked The Great Race mostly because of Professor Fate, Max and their funny theme song

CONGRATULATIONS LIVERPOOL!!! Very well done!

Chinese martial art movies aren't my cup of tea but I liked both, Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The soundtracks from both movies are very beautiful.

Fantastic compilation, ZepHead. It's a great journey. Thank you for your work. I'm no fan of the Tour over Europe but Money is great. I like the tone of Jimmys guitar very much and the piano playing is brilliant. Good choice.

Thank you, CP. I wanted to avoid canned chick peas but if it's CP proved I'll give it a try

Star Trek: Grand Cru

Stuck in my head for days and I love it

Shakshuka: the in-meal of the moment. Fantastic Eggplant (marinated in olive oil and pomegranate juice, oven-baked) with pomegranate seeds and tahini dip Tomato cucumber salad Falaffel (mix from the supermarket. One day I'll try one of the dozen recipes I collected over the years, one day ...) Hummus (from the supermarket, one day ... see above)

Like crepes but slightly thicker and I like them with blueberries also very much. Had to google Apple Butter, sounds terrific. It's slightly different form our apple sauce.

For Gloria I liked the original version of Umberto Tozzi more but in those days I loved Self Control

I must admit winning the domestic Grand Slam in a strong league like the PL is an accomplishment, yes. But City's Sheiks didn't spend a Billion last summer for the Caribou Cup. They expect the Champions League title. It's Guardiola's 3rd season with City and he didn't deliver the CL title yet. I am pretty sure that's very disappointing for the Sheiks and Pep himself. Let's agree we are happy with both finals It's spectacular and speaks for the strong league.

All-Premier League affair is correct. But there are a couple of all-League matches. Mostly Primera División of course, los reyes de europa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UEFA_Super_Cup_matches 1993 Parma : Milan 2006 Sevilla : Barcelona 2014 Real Madrid : Sevilla 2015 Barcelona : Sevilla 2016 Real Madrid : Sevilla 2018 Atletico : Real Madrid Very very very well done Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Chelsea And Pep Guardiola will shed a tear or two in Manchester

Football, bloody hell. I cannot believe it. I'd never ever thought Liverpool are able to beat the 3:0 against Barcelona. Making 4 goals against Barca is incredible but preventing them from shooting a single goal is epic. KLOPPO!!!! 2 consecutive years in CL final is a fantastic achievement. And there will be no Sergio Ramos in Madrid Come on Ajax - they played so very well, they deserved the final, too
