Wonders sometimes happen
In October, when I changed the route of my early morning walk from the summer one to the winter one, I was dismayed to find that a section of pavement had been neglected by the council and was so overgrown by weeds that it was barely visible. I wrote a letter drawing the council's attention to this and asked them to have the pavement cleared. Within a week my letter was acknowledged with a postcard saying that my letter had been passed on to another department. I was not optimistic.
This morning, as I walked along the unlit stretch dodging the brambles and trying not to slip on the grass, I suddenly realised that I was on tarmac again. Part of the pavement had been cleared! I was so amazed that I went out again when it became light to see what had been done. About half the length of the pavement had been reclaimed; men were working on the other half. Compared with its previous state, the pavement is now like a motorway.
Thought for today
What we call public opinion is generally public sentiment.
Benjamin Disraeli, 1880
