@DEBSC I often dip into watching Live Aid performances. We watched some of it while helping SIL packing to move from their house. They initially only moved a short way away, but are now in Bakewell. Sorry to hear about your GD, and hope she’s on the mend.

Still very hot here, too hot to do much at all to be honest, as it got up to 29c in the (shaded) house yesterday. OH managed a coat of paint on part of MG in garage, I had an extra day at home as Mum too warm to sit out, sleeping a lot, but well watered in between. She perked up later last night, I am off up there this morning. Another SIL lost their lovely little dog yesterday, had to have her put to sleep. Two months off 18 years old, so an incredible age really. A gentle, loving little part Patterdale. Family very upset. Our old lad is doing ok, he’s got a big powerful cycling fan on him 24 hours, spends most of day asleep, but wakes up enough to be a pest when we are watching TdeF in evening🥴 The pool is getting some use, I have had to put a sunshade over it.

More grand photos @DSB you are really mixing up your visits! @DEBSC, so sorry to hear that your granddaughter was taken in to hospital so suddenly, but pleased that she has been discharged and that she has such support around her.

@Wherenext glad that MIL is taking care of herself during this hot weather.

We were away early from the Bakewell site and had only a short, 20 ml, tow to our latest location, a THS overlooking Carsington Reservoir, arriving around 10:20. Lots of room, on two fields, and about 28 units here tonight. En route we were flagged to slow down by a couple of cars. We suspected a speed check, but it turned out to be a road accident involving a PSV, which was on the wrong side of the road, and at least one other car, which must have just recently occurred as the police hadn't arrived when we passed. It has bern another hot day but thankfully there has been a breeze blowing across the site which make it feel much more comfortable here. We took a walk, after lunch, down from the site to the reservoir, and were surprised just how low the water level is.

Looking towards the dam.
