PATILY will be relieved to see you've been here, KAREN - I made allowances for your busy-ness ;-) I'm packing up now, need to reduce the heat here!

There must be something wrong - I keep refreshing but can't find any posts since mine @ 09:09
Some good feeds during the morning, Blue33 was often in attendance.
Lunchtime, Maya brought in more straw and spread it around the bob before settling down:
1340 - another bundle of straw from Maya:
Oh! A little bonking session while waiting for Mama to return for tea (she'd just taken a break):
1845 feed:
My editor has seized up so I'll post this and add to it if anything special happens.
EDIT - It turned out it was the latest 6-hour session was corrupted and crashing my editor, so I've had to delete up to 0130. Since then Maya has been sleeping except for a short comfort break.
Morning ALL and thanks for all the updates
