I’m just back from exercising my civic right to vote. This being a municipal election at least this time round the election placards out-numbered the for sale signs—especially with five people running for mayor. Not living in Ward 2 I didn’t have the opportunity to place two pigs at the trough—a Stoate and a Hogg. I can only hope that the incoming mayor is given a council less fractious than the previous one.
Did some shopping after the voting machine read my ballot and discovered the perfect Christmas gift at the Bulk Barn—Chocolate lumps of Coal! Aside from the election the day has been marked with the sound of sirens roaring up and down Trafalgar Rd. The fact that the day is overcast and moisture laden is probably not helping. With all this rain we should expect to see a bumper crop of cones on the conifers, shrubs laden with blossom, and green lawns next spring. Unless the weather changes I may not need to get my humidifier going at all this year.
This being a contractual holiday for uncivil servants I believe I’ll go up and fall asleep in front of the TV.
