Yesterday I provided details on the official cocktail of Wimbledon, which is Pimm's Cup.  Well, what do they eat there?  Strawberries and Cream, plus Scones. So today I watched a nearly   5-hour match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic .  A rollercoaster of a great final.  First game to Djokovik, 6-1.  Third game 6-1 for Alcaraz.  Fifth to Alcaraz for his first Wimbledon championship.  I took photos on my TV screen.  The King was not there, but Kate was.

Barbie's official birthday is March 9, 1959, even though she was 19 years old when she was born! If you consider Barbie to have been 0 years old when she was born, she would be 64. If you consider the fact that she was born at age 19, Barbie would be   83 years old as of March 9, 2023 . Other notes: Cost, $3. Her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.   She is not officially married to Ken, and has no children. A mint-condition 1959 Barbie doll would be worth $28,000 today.   However, the most expensive Barbie ever sold was a collaboration between Mattel and designer Stefano Canturi in 2010:  $302,500. Read this  if you want all the details about Barbie, such as, she was manufactured in Japan from 1959-1972, then later in Mexico, Hong Kong or Taiwan. Greta Gerwig's  Barbie , the movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, plus American Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrel, Helen Mirren ( narrator ), Rhea Perlman and Michael Cera, is set to be released on 21July2023.   Simu
