Was the heatwave really six weeks? We had that one desperately hot week that was capped by The Bad Day that set new records, but other than that it was pretty ordinary? Certainly nothing like last year when all the grass died.

Heat wave has been far worse across Europe this year, farming has been very hosed with no sign of real relief.

Jose posted:camping sucks and the only time its acceptable is for a music festival Camping is exactly why I stopped attending music festivals. Yes yes, the stars are nice but less nice is waking up multiple times because the ground is loving uncomfortable and then you feel poo poo the next day and can't even take a nice soothing shower. Go out stargazing and then come home again. The joy of rural life. One of very few.

Late to the Mae Hhen Wlad Fy Nhadau party: I learned it in primary school in the Valleys in the 1960s. All I can remember though is that bit, this bit "enwogion o fri " and this bit "Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,". We also learned Ar Hyd a Nos. And thanks to whoever recommended these Cities Skylines videos on youtube (sometime this year, can't remember exactly when). I'm finally watching my 'Watch later' collection on youtube since I realized I can watch them on TV when I'm having 'no computer' days. The two I watched yesterday are these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQzfa4iXxZ4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rseaKBPkRPU

It has, admittedly, been 18 years since I was in comprehensive school and 23 years since I was in primary. Which is a depressing thought!

We camped near Kielder observatory a couple of years back for the height of the Perseids. Got a really clear night for it and saw loads of meteors as well as satellites whizzing past. Unfortunately our small elderly dog hated that we'd dragged her out camping and got revenge by being sick on the air bed.

Camping is the absolute best thing, but you should do it when hiking or in nature. Big campsites with shops and pools, as well as musical festival camping, are of the devil. I spent a lot of my youth wild camping by streams in the hills. It's just amazing. Camped wild for a week in the lake district two years ago and it was just the best. Edit: Hart Bakery at Bristol Meads is amazing. Many thanks!!

However for added convenience I think that my new invention should actually be immobile, and built near places I want to be, so I don't have to tow stuff. Also - and I'm not sure why this is important - it should have coat hangers with no hooks.

If there is interest, I can expand. Welcome to the forum. I've been here just over a year. It's a good place. Sorry about your experience with your therapist and hope your developments are good. I'm interested in the developments if you are ok posting them (which you might have done already, I'm catching up after 2 days offline).

Also smh. Having had a 'heated discussion' with a friend a few weeks ago who told me that nazism was socialism because they had 'socialist' in the name and when I challenged her said what do I know, she has a GCSE in History from over 25 years ago. And that, dear reader, is when her reading of history stopped.
