I’m watching the England V Slovenia game, whilst eating my ice cream. 😃 #UAFA
England win 2 v 1 Slovenia
What a brilliant game. Bellingham and Kane saved the day. Gareth Southgate should be pleased.
England to play Switzerland next.

Q. SmileyRose are you eligible to vote in the General Elections?
A. Of course! Ever since I was old enough to vote, at the age of 18 years old, I have voted in the British General Elections. 🙂
Before I turned 18 years old, both of my parents always voted for us as a family. My Grandparents voted also.
Both of my children are eligible to vote in the General Elections too. 🙂
The right to vote in public elections is called the elective franchise, or more commonly the franchise.🙂

Not a lot of people know this, however, my star sign is Leo the Lion.
My daughter and I went to the cinema ‘Cineworld’ in Huntingdon a few years ago. I saw this poster and I asked her to quickly snap me, with Leonardo di Caprio. 🙂

My daughter and I enjoyed some Sushi during a shopping trip to Cambridge not so long ago. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish that typically consists of vinegared rice combined with various ingredients, including raw or cooked seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. There are several types of sushi, each distinguished by its preparation and presentation. Some of the most common varieties include:
- Nigiri: Small hand-formed balls of rice topped with slices of raw or cooked fish, seafood, or other ingredients. Often, a small amount of wasabi is placed between the rice and the topping.
- Sashimi: Though not technically sushi, sashimi is often included in sushi discussions. It consists of thinly sliced raw fish or seafood served without rice.
- Maki: Rolls of sushi rice and other ingredients wrapped in seaweed (nori) and sliced into bite-sized pieces. There are various subtypes, including:
- Futomaki: Thick rolls with multiple ingredients.
- Hosomaki: Thin rolls with usually one or two ingredients.
- Uramaki: Inside-out rolls with the rice on the outside and nori on the inside.
- Temaki: Cone-shaped hand rolls made by wrapping nori around rice and fillings.
- Chirashi: A bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of sashimi and other ingredients.
Sushi is often served with condiments such as soy sauce, wasabi (a spicy green paste), and pickled ginger (gari), which is used to cleanse the palate between bites. Sushi is enjoyed both as a casual meal and as part of formal dining experiences, reflecting its versatility and cultural significance in Japanese cuisine.
