In 2022 your councillors were elected as individuals, and from that moment on we had the job of collectively governing.

That's the way it works - considering each issue on its merit, questioning, debating and voting - one point at a time without prejudice or preconception.

To walk into a vote with a pre-determined party position is to put our process at huge risk. (legal challenges, for starters).

And good luck to the poor member of that group who has their own opinion.

As a great American philosopher used to say. 'And that's about all I've got to say about that'.

Something a bit different for the week ahead: picking your favourite childhood story (no explanation necessary if you don't like)

My No. 1 -'The Four Seasons' for its general comedy and No. 2 'The Little Red Caboose' for sticking to the job. (Though 'Pano' the other great workaholic train must rate a decent sequel or prequel....)

See the Little Golden Books library list for refreshers.

Go on!

Ernest Hemingway’s 7 Tips for Writing:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
1: To get started, write one true sentence.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“Sometimes when I was starting a new story and I could not get it going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, ‘Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now.’”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
2: Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck.”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
3: Never think about the story when you’re not working.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
4: When it’s time to work again, always start by reading what you’ve written so far.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“When it gets so long that you can’t do this every day read back two or three chapters each day; then each week read it all from the start.”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
5: Don’t describe an emotion—make it.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“In writing for a newspaper you told what happened and, with one trick and another, you communicated the emotion aided by the element of timeliness which gives a certain emotion to any account of something that has happened on that day; but the real thing, the sequence of motion and fact which made the emotion and which would be as valid in a year or in ten years or, with luck and if you stated it purely enough, always, was beyond me...”⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
6: Use a pencil. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“If you write with a pencil you get three different sights at it to see if the reader is getting what you want him to. First when you read it over; then when it is typed you get another chance to improve it, and again in the proof.”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
7: Be Brief.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“It wasn’t by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short. The laws of prose writing are as immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics.”
