You can stand down, I'm not wearing such a low cut-top.
Wasn't much sun left on the drive, so only got about 15 mins. All the tomatoes are watered though, and am now sat with a

I prefer my old (4th Generation) Kindle to the newer one. With the way I hold it, the page turning buttons on the sides are perfectly placed and easier to use than the touchscreen on the newer one where I occasionally go back a page instead of forward.

It's been VERY hot today in the Vendée - over 38 degrees. More on exposed tarmac roads.
Son no. 2 went on a 120km training ride this morning, which would've been fine if his BeOne hadn't snapped a rear gear cable in the shifter.
Cue me heading to the furthest point away on his ride - of COURSE it'd be - with his Ridley race bike. He lost an hour, found a café for lunch, got cooked but made it back.
His conclusions were:
He stops ... he dies from heat-stroke
He waits for possible help on an empty back country road ... he dies from heat-stroke
He rides slowly in the heat ... he dies from heat-stroke
He rides fast to avoid the hottest part of the day ... he dies from heat-stroke
He gets lost or his Garmin and phone go flat ... he dies from heat-stroke
Dad brings him his spare bike plus extra water ... Dad saves the day
New inner and outer cables, plus bar tape, were imminent anyway and the cables are done already. After I removed the stuck snapped cable and cleaned it. They'd been bought, and we brought them with us, but we'd both caught Covid and weren't well enough to fit them, re-build his Cervelo AND upgrade the NeilPryde.
Bar tape tomorrow as that was enough for a too-hot afternoon.

A very relaxed day today which shows how things can be done with a decent level of staffing and people who know what they're doing. Got some heavy lifting done before it got too warm, then a few routing checks and a catch-up with the paperwork. There's some work out the other side of Ipswich tomorrow which I may volunteer for as it will involve 30 miuntes each way in a car with the air conditioning turned to maximum chill and also past where I need to go to get my sister's birthday present.
