MYSTERY MAN

So plucky Ding Junhui lost his semi-final against the reigning champion Mark Selby... :o(

What intrigues me is the guy in the stripy shirt, the red tie & the belly - top left - he's been sitting there for as many Crucible years as I can remember... Who he?

Tomorrow the exhausting final + the Russian F1 GP...

Good news - I've made an anti-mildew preparation for the strawberry plants - baking soda - a splotch of soft-soap & oodles of water!
