now that I don't get out that much I have bird feeders and a water station for the birds so I can watch from my front window the nature even in towns and cities is a wonder I can sit in the front and the birds land and feed around me without fear and it is very hot 90s most days sleepless nights and hard on the breathing 3 fans going in the bedroom but still hard to sleep? jp

[Captain Kong]

We have several bird feeders , nuts, seeds and fat balls hanging from the tees, in the garden and three water bowls, for the birds, See them all having baths in the water and then drinking it, .
Cannot stay in the garden for more than a few minutes, the smoke from the Burning moors burn the eyes and throats. so cannot open windows. or doors.

And elsewhere:


Two doctors volunteer to STAY with children trapped in Thai cave for FOUR MONTHS if floodwaters cut them off and make rescue attempts impossible, as divers prepare to take pork and rice to survivors.

Twelve Thai boys aged 11-16 and football coach were lost in Thamg Luang cave in Chiang Rai for nine days
All of the group were miraculously found starving but alive by two British volunteer cave divers on Monday
Family members who feared their kids were dead rejoiced as they heard confirmation they'd been found alive
Experts said boys may have to wait for months for water levels to subside because they can't swim or dive
Two Thai Navy doctors have volunteered to stay with the trapped children until the water levels are lower
But there are fears of rain fall in the coming days meaning boys may have to learn to dive and swim through narrow gaps themselves

There are fears fresh rainfall over the next few days could add to flooding in the caves - meaning the boys, who cannot swim, may have to wait until the end of monsoon season in October before they can be brought to safety.

Not the first heat wave to hit UK.
Back in 1959 there was a similar one and again in 1976, that went on for two six week periods over the June/August period with a week of rain in July.


Fires of the Manchester type I do not ever recall hearing of before, hope it ends soon.

[Captain Kong]

The Fires around Bolton have been started by people who should be tied to a pole in the middle of it.

Everytime I hear the name Saddleworth Moor , it always reminds me of the searches for Keith Bennett
