Two things for people today.
The first is bread. No, really. Bread.
In England, bread is a savoury foodstuff, that can be cooked in a variaty of ways. Toast it, make it into puddings...the list goes on. The important point is that most bread is, if not sour, certainly not filled with sugar.
In Canada...well, its slightly different. The local white bread is full of sugar. It's so sweet that you can toast it and eat it on its own. Throw in rasins and you'd have a good snack type dessert. You can even buy rasin bread in the supermarket!
Its got to the point where we've started buying "sour dough" bread from the local baker. The down side is it tastes lovely. And it gets eaten in days. Sometimes, hours.
And now the circus.
As I type, the local elections in England, the scottish and welsh assemblies are being counted. Power is changing hands, from one group to another. But this isn't the general election.
In three weeks the media will have moved on. Lets be honest - by next weeks end the local elections will be old news. The local govenment and town councils control a huge amount of the UKs spending - but no one seems to care.
Unlike the house of commons, there is no great payoff for being a councilor. But these are the people that control your planning permission, regulate your rubbish collection and determine who goes to which schools.
And did you vote?

Yes, I voted. but guess who didn't do a proxy vot.................
Hope Richard has found you okay and that you are enjoying the sigts.
Lovely to see Alli again on Thursday, was really horrible to her of course.
I voted last time.
But not this time, is there any point when the only time you hear about a candidate is a month before the election (when they're you're best friend), or when there's a scandel about them in the local newspaper?
Regards,
Luke
