Wiltshire in Pictures: A star visits and baking sun
The Oscar-winning actress brought a smile to patients' faces and paid tribute to the charity's donors, fundraisers and volunteers.
Meanwhile, patrons of a pub in Corsley, near Warminster, welcomed back a characterful owl – and elsewhere, our weather watchers were out capturing the best of the sunshine.
Meet me halfway: Janet Baldock has just reached the mid-point on her trek of the entire Wales Coast Path, having set out from Chester in April. Ms Baldock, from Shalbourne near Great Bedwyn, is raising money for the Support Dogs charity after learning about autism assistance dogs.
Wetting my beak: This owl is the unlikely new regular at The White Hart in Corsley. Named Arllo, he has made himself at home, visiting the pub at least once a week with his keeper.
Field of gold: The sweltering sun has shown no mercy this week – beating down on crops such as the wheat in this field in Grittleton near Castle Combe.
Parched land: On the opposite side of the county, weather watcher Nerea M captured this image of Stonehenge, where the grass is yellowing in the heat.
Moody mornings: In Upavon, weather watcher TAG caught a misty moment as the sun rose over a country path.
Toast of the village: The Chalke History Festival came to an end on Sunday after a week of talks, events and living history performances. Jane from Jane's Historical Kitchen exhibited period-appropriate crockery and showed visitors how to make a decorative pie lid.
Moving out: In another blow to Swindon town centre, it has been announced that the Swindon & Wiltshire Pride Hub will be leaving the Regent Circus shopping centre. Nando's is now the only company trading at the complex, which opened in 2014.

General Hospital Recap: Carly and Nina get physical
General Hospital Recap: Carly and Nina get physical originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's General Hospital recap: Paramedics are called and take Maxie to the hospital where Liz and Lucas work on her, while Lucy and Felicia stand vigil. Brook Lynn reaches out to both Lulu and Spinelli who head to the hospital. Spinelli gets upset so Lulu calls Emma to go over and stay with the kids and reassures him Maxie will be fine. Lucas updates everyone that Maxie was having a heart attack and her heart did stop but they got her back. Lucas reassures them Maxie will be ok. Lucas asks Brook Lynn if Maxie ingested something as she might have had an allergic reaction to the facial cream. Lucy says they were all part of the product testing so it couldn't have been that. Previous General Hospital (GH) Recap: Maxie Falls Out on Live TV Sonny summons Michael to talk to Diane about the attack on Drew. Michael explains what happened and Diane points out how he had Tracy take Wylie away. She thinks Michael knew what he was doing when he hit Drew. Diane says they need to prove Drew approached Wylie and said terrible things to him. Diane tells him he can go to the judge and petition to allow Willow visitation. Michael says he doesn't approve of that because he doesn't trust her anymore. He says Willow is out of control and both Sonny and Diane push for details. Michael says he believes Willow is responsible for what happened with Daisy. Michael says he doesn't have proof and Sonny wants to know how to fix all of this. Diane says they need to find someone objective who saw Drew talk to Wylie and then saw the punch. Drew is at the hospital to have his bruise documented by a doctor, but Liz points out it's not an emergency. Drew invokes Willow's name and says she'll get her kids back when the courts see how violent Michael is. Drew gets seen and leaves with documented proof of an injury. Justine asks Anna to open an investigation into Drew. Anna wants details but Justine says she can't provide them. She says she knows he's been trampling people's rights. Drew interrupts to accuse Michael of attacking him. Anna doesn't believe his story but Justine says they need to document everything Drew is telling them, including whatever proof he has. Justine says the case will be about the witnesses and who can corroborate his story. Carly confronts Nina about her affair with Drew and how she could have saved Willow if she'd done the right thing. Carly says everything Willow has lost is Nina's fault. The two argue and scream at each other until Nina goes to hit her and Carly pushes Nina into the pool. Nina drags herself out of the pool for round 953 with Carly, who says Nina and Willow will never get near the kids again. Vaughn and Josslyn have sex. Afterwards, she says they need to stay to find out what's going on. Josslyn says she needs to get Britt one on one and maybe she'll talk. They decide to go to her in the morning. Jason tells Britt he saw her in Paris but Liesl still believes she's dead. He wonders if being dead was her choice. Jason says she can come home, but Britt says she's not going back to Port Charles again. Britt asks how he survived the collapse and he explains about being an informant. She realizes he did it to protect Carly, which upsets her. Jason asks how she survived but she refuses to tell him, saying she grieved him. She calls him a selfish son of a bitch and that she's wasted too much time on him. He turns it back on her, but she says she made the decision not to let her loved ones watch her deteriorate. Britt says she has a life here, living in a five star resort and that her Huntingtons is in remission. She tells him to leave, but Jason says the WSB has the place flagged which means she's in danger. Jason says he can have her out by tonight, but Britt says she doesn't need him to save her. She kicks him out of her room then calls someone to tell them to fix the problem right now. (** I get that they can't actually do CPR on a person, but they could make it look a wee bit more realistic. At one point, Liz' hands were on Maxie's neck. That's not how one does CHEST compressions!!! ) Keep checking back for the latest General Hospital recaps!

WWE Legend Rushed to Hospital Following Bat Attack
Veteran WWE referee Charles Robinson says he spent the early hours of Wednesday in the emergency room after a bat bit him. Robinson shared the incident on Instagram on August 13, stating that it occurred around 2 a.m. and required treatment, according to his post. 'Great way to start the morning. 2:00am and got bit by a bat,' Robinson wrote. 'That's right a bat! 4 hours later in the ER and six shots.' He also tagged the post with '#animalattacks' and '#hospital.' The longtime WWE official didn't provide additional details about the encounter but indicated the visit involved multiple injections, most likely for an anti-rabies treatment regimen.

Support rolled in from across the wrestling community, with colleagues and fans offering well-wishes in his comments. Some also made light of the bat bite, though Robinson kept his update to the facts of the hospital trip. A few replies even joked about 'superpowers.' The bat incident caps a rough stretch for Robinson in 2025 that has included multiple on-screen bumps. At June's Night of Champions premium live event, he was shoulder-tackled by the heel Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena. The following month at Saturday Night's Main Event, Robinson was accidentally speared by Goldberg during Goldberg's retirement match against GUNTHER, leading to a storyline rib injury for the referee. Robinson's standing in the industry underscores why the update drew such a reaction. He began refereeing in the 1990s and joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1997, where he became known as 'Little Naitch' in a storyline aligned with Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen. When WWE purchased WCW in 2001, Robinson moved to WWE and has served as a senior official ever since, working countless high-profile matches, including multiple WrestleMania main events. As of his Instagram post, Robinson did not share a recovery timeline.
