Families are complicated ... I popped out to Aldi for a few things and found a soft but firm travel pillow that sits round my neck like a fat collar. Really comfortable, and makes me feel much more relaxed. Nice for reading and watching TV, and will probably try sleeping in it. Still overcast and muggy. Patio temperaure at midday was 34C.

Owl, so sorry you had to cancel your trip Yantan... hope you find an improvement in your asthma

I have had some very good news and am a happy owl. I have been helping some nice people catch a stray cat who appeared for his breakfast yesterday with a serious eye injury. They had been gaining his confidence for quite a while, but whatever happened to him yesterday had made him very frightened. I borrowed a trap and took it to them at 3.30 and by 5 they had trapped him. He is now at the vet. I am sure he will lose the eye but he is a strong cat so should pull through.
