Not much happening at the moment. Grey skies leaking rain, business slowing down, trying to take advantage of a slack period… but feeling a bit guilty about not doing much.
The bank has at last managed to open our new account, but the credit card business seems to have fallen again.
Three months ago we read in the papers that about twenty of the thirty patrol motorbikes belonging to the police force were off the road due to shortage of funds for repairing them. Today we read that the police have launched with much gusto a select band of police motorcycle cops who will operate 24/7. They will have thirty motorbikes, ten new and twenty repainted (no mention of repair, so they probably are still not working). Also there are only twelve cops on 8 hour shifts leaving some difficulty in covering the 24/7 idea.
It is in the paper and therefore not necessarily accurate, but the numbers indicate there may be some truth in the matter.
