So no trip to York for me as my train from Kings Cross was cancelled due to a broken rail somewhere along the trains route. Yes I understand, no I’m not happy. I just want a refund #LNER

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Keir Starmer prepares to miss key green target in effort to keep energy bills down Exclusive: Promise to remove almost all fossil fuels from UK’s electricity supply by 2030 may be quietly abandoned over cost

This would be a regressive step. Shows a poverty of thinking inside No10

2. The problems the renewables build out addresses haven't gone away

Seems my husband’s constant jokes about my hearing damage/loss weren’t completely unfounded. Though I’m still to be convinced that hearing aids have made much difference.

Good morning Cardiff 🌅

Baby and toddlers in hospital after pram hit by trailer in Dumfries Police believe the trailer became detached from Mitsubishi Outlander and struck the a pram on the pavement.

Once again our young, including babies are asked to make sacrifices. 😢

And if you read the article it’s as it there were no drivers involved. Everything is described, the weapon, the vehicles, the environment, the victims.

But mysteriously no driver mentioned.

🤬🤬🤬 WTF is wrong with people?

Today’s grumble… I have 2 parcels both handled by Royal Mail - both due early last week, both missing… tracking still states that they will be updated when a delivery attempt is made… #RoyalMail

Perfect thank you so much! I’m looking at Willesden at the minute, going to drop them a message.
Really appreciate your replies, thank you!

Hampstead is my old club 😂😂😂 Sadly, it’s not the ‘right fit’ for me 😂😂

Oh it looks like a great club!! I might struggle getting there as I’m coming from Camden/Kentish Town. Was a member of a local one for a while but it was just too competitive and bitchy.

Might be a little too far but I’ll have a look! Thank you!

Any recommendations for friendly #triathlon clubs in north London?

Indeed! Huge yellow barriers either end, large black bollards on the footpaths either end and strategically placed street furniture in front of HSBC and Wendy’s… someone knows what they’re doing 😂

All change at Camden High Street as the trial pedestrianisation has started. Traffic is diverted into Kentish Town Road.

When one of you is romantic and the other one is me… 26th wedding anniversary sure came round fast 😂

Can’t help but think it would have been great to put cycle infrastructure on Delancey St in #Camden… the idea has gone very quiet in the last 5 years 🤬 - the same road that’s seen repeated long closures over recent years with no big impacts to traffic flow elsewhere #cycling #London

My morning run was made much more enjoyable by this view ❤️ #RegentsPark #London #Running

#RegentsPark looks glorious this morning 😍

RT if the RSPCA should remove him.
