This reference to Councils and their ways made me smile – they must be the same everywhere. A little while ago a Council worker (and I use that term loosely) came along the pavement spraying poison at the edges of the grass that grows on the verge. Well I think that’s where he was supposed to spray it – but somehow he managed to spray the whole area and subsequently the grass died and left a grassless area which had once been nice and green.

The other day another ‘worker’ came along on a ride-on mower and mowed the grass that wasn’t there. He was followed by still another ‘worker’ with a leaf blower, blowing the non-existent grass away.

Still it was a nice day to be out and about – and getting paid for taking a walk would have been an added bonus.
