Reporters in Tel Aviv say Iranian mass attack is over for now. Limited damage done. But only thanks to Israeli air defence systems. Iranian attempt to overwhelm it with over 200 drones/missiles failed. If it had succeeded there would have been carnage in Israel tonight.

Just received next Natural Cambridgeshire Forum agenda. No mention of important Environment Agency objection to major developments over water abstraction. Or hopefully Cambridgeshire mayor might mention in passing. You never know.

For my birthday a dear friend bought me an Emma Bridgewater mug. On the rim it states "chalk streams, sparkling, special & rare". Now my go to mug for morning coffee.

EA starting to cut up rough with Cambridge Water in their response to Resources Plan. "the water supply demands of large developments in combination with other planned growth, pose a significant risk of causing deterioration in the status of water bodies". Comments @SouthCambs?

Greater Cambridge Planning response to Cambridge Water Resources plan scambs.moderngov.co.uk/docum… Very Disappointing. Abstraction rates for chalk streams left to Environment Agency.
