A funny for the week :

I saw this, and I felt it sums up the council filing system perfectly.

A — This Week
B — Last Week
C — 2–5 Weeks Ago
D — Sedimentary Layer
E — Lost Forever (also known as: “Sorry, we can’t find that record.”)

Ever wondered why it takes three follow-ups, two forwarded emails, and a small miracle to get a single document out of council?

Because somewhere, buried deep under D… is your request.

Don’t worry, I’ll have some articles up soon. I am just taking a brief intermission to refill my hot chocolate/ maybe a cup of tea, gather my thoughts, and maybe my sanity.

It’s been one heck of a couple of months!

Big congrats to John Funnell for mayor and to the rest of the new council crew. 🎉
I’ll be watching closely… like a possum at midnight with a torch. 👀
