My word of the day today is ‘drench’.

I was pleased to hear Boris Johnson pay tribute to the people of Salisbury and Amesbury at #PMQs, but I do wish he would get on with releasing the report into Russian interference into our elections
My word of the day today is ‘triumph’.
I’ve been finding myself singing the Altered Images' Happy Birthday
Not sure it will work as well
They call me the human metronome
The very, very slow human metronome
Trending faster though
Elvis geeks will recognize Parchman, the prison accused of “abhorrent conditions, abuse and constant violence, inadequate health care and mental health care, and overuse of isolation”, as the one that Elvis' dad Vernon was sent to
My word of the day today is ‘frisson’.

I did eat in Greenwich, but then couldn’t resist a visit to Fishcotheque when I got to Waterloo

Also overheard on the Big Half, on the skins of the Lucozade pods, which I thought were rather good
Runner to chums: “I don’t care if it is made from sea weed, I’m not swallowing it…as I’ve said about other things”
Further conversation ensued

I’m grateful whatever people say, really. I need al the encouragement I can get
There should be a manual for what to say to us strugglers and stragglers
Not before 8 miles: ‘You’ve got this’
Not before 10 miles: “started together/finishing together'
‘Looking good’…doesn’t matter when, because I’m clearl not!
Overheard on the Big Half
“We started together and we’ll finish together”
I’ve heard people say that more than once before
But not 3 miles in
Hope they did finish
Big half done
