Hopefully nearing some kind of resolution with council jobsworths as their boss proved just as petty. Have involved the press (good to have contacts) and hopefully the ridiculous situation can be calmed before too many people are terrorised. Will also use this opportunity to point out some of the council shortcomings in this area, such as their repeated failing to fix the "stream flowing over the steep path" anomaly that has been present for years and which the idea to fix always involves simply putting down more tarmac over the path (rather than fitting a diverting pipe as sensible councils would). Jeez, at this rate I'm gonna become a Daily Mail letter writer, pah, wash my mouth out with soap!

Did a couple of ambient ones including "dog day afternoon" but have struggled to fully concentrate on my work this week and ain't finding "Epic World" to be a great source of inspiration. It's all one-note evolving pads and I've never really coped well with those. Trying though.
