SE Water have now reversed their advice, so that it no longer contradicts the Food StandardsAgency.

They now say boiled water SHOULD be cooled before being put in fridge. A bit shambolic really ....

#TunbridgeWells
Difficult to reconcile:

* SE Water advice that you CAN put boiling water straight into fridge
* Food Standards Agency advice NOT to place hot or warm food in fridge

Up at silly o'clock for spot of tourism by train. Very blustery, showery morning at the coast, for Folkestone parkrun. Fine moody/atmospheric views out to see. Thank you to volunteers

Cracking dialogue/acting between George and Ed!

A spokesperson for South East Water, Dr Pangloss, said:

"Good news - we aim to have resolved the water supply issue by a mere twelve hours later than when last issued an estimate. Which, coincidentally, was twelve hours ago."

This showering option was available for runners yday. But probably not today...
This is in town if you still need a shower. £10 for 10minutes and I hold a sheet to give you privacy.

Madgwick's Arm action - should be called out by the umpire as a no ball.

A somewhat gloomy & damp morning for my outing to Clair, in Haywards Heath. Quite a tight 4.5 lap undulating course.

As ever, volunteers very friendly/helpful. #parkrun

Not keen on fashion for trendy #GrandDesigns houses to have long flights of stairs with no bannisters/ balustrade or equivalent. Asking for accidents...

Dutch public broadcaster NOS quits X over disinformation
Dutch public broadcaster NOS on Tuesday said it had stopped posting on Elon Musk's social media platform X, as it said it did not want to facilitate the spreading of disinformation.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Kate: "unlucky coincidence that the car wouldn't start - just when we had a crucial journey!"

Jakob: "these things do happen sometimes - think Sound of Music."

At least Peggy, sitting on a cloud, will be enjoying the farcical scenes playing out.

Ideal scenario would be so much bickering en route that Jakob stops the people carrier at somewhere inconvenient, gets out and disappears, taking the only car key.

Marden HM this morning... largely flat, not much wind, so good conditions. Pleasant route along quiet lanes.

Phoebe needs to line up Jakob to find a cast iron reason that can be deployed, as soon as Kate becomes unbearable, which requires Kate to return to Ambridge urgently.
