 Last night AccuWeather App announced rain would begin in four minutes. Startled by the precision, we promptly removed clothing airing on the balcony. And indeed a night of distant thunder, sheet lightning and rain. However accuracy fails to quite match precision, so when at 14:25 app announces that rain will begin in one minute this not in fact followed sixty seconds later by raindrops, although skies are dark so we venture out and are not rained on. 

One of the real pleasures of travelling is the variety of mature cheeses easily available, not confined to tiny specialty sections - like wanting them was normal. Have read the defences of Canadian milk supply management and have also heard small farmers say it definitely doesn’t work for them. Had hopes when Canada struck a deal with the EU, but no joy. But rivals affordable wine this half of the year.
