Mayoral elections

Today has been a glorious sunny day. As I walked to church this morning I was aware that there were more people on the streets than usual for a Sunday morning. As I passed the school I remembered that it was election day. The school looked busy as people entered to vote in the local municipal elections. There has been a steady turn out of voters all day after an intense week of electioneering by the various political parties, who are all promising the earth.

Predictions are that in some areas the ballot is unexpectedly very close. The polls closed at 5.00 p.m. so now the television is totally focussed on the awaited results. (Time to watch a DVD.)
