Rode out to The Frog at Skirmet on Tuesday. It rained quite hard all the way back. It was actually quite nice cycling in the rain apart from near home when my fingers became numb. Also really good to have a bit of of downpour after all the hot weather. The hottest June since records began. I've got a bit addicted to the TdF so as a result instead of me going for a walk Wednesday afternoon we both went out after tea. As a result noticed that The Foresters seems to be closed which is a pity and surprising as last time we were in there about a year ago it seemed to be thriving. On Thursday morning got a photo of a sleepy Edith and a video of a mischievous Madeline trying to open the microwave. Heard fron Jeannie that Andy had a special valve fitted to his ventilator so was able to talk for a while. Did my 5 hills ride in the afternoon then had first Thursday drinks in the Alehouse. Did some garden tidying on Friday. In the evening did sound at RSAC for Greg Mayston's Blues Americana supported by Steve Morano. He was a very good singer sondwriter. Had some problems getting a good balance with sound initially for Greg Mayston but sorted it after a couple of songs. Did some good stuff, he has a 1935 national steel guitar. Only 4 paying customers though. Got a call from JAM on Saturday morning. Mark Cavendish was in a very innocuous crash and is out of his last TdF. He'd finished 6th, 5th and 2nd in the sprints and was after his 35th win. He shares the record of 34 with Eddy Merckx. In the evening we hosted a 'pub garden' event to replace Mandy's postponed house warming. I probably had too much wine. Had a HCTS meeting at RSAC on Sunday and Edith went to The Green Goddess.
