Took the morning out and did nothing. We all need a break before the final assault and the barrage of leaflets in the final ten days.

After lunch a team of us went up to Norbiton and delivered around that area. It was one of those days when a series of events lightened the load. Firstly one of our deliverers got bitten by a dog. Hand in the letter box, to get the letter through the furry draft excluder, and then 'crunch'. Then in the early evening another deliverer saw some kids pull up in a car and start taking drugs from some foil. He popped around the corner and rang the Police who arrived, twenty minutes later, with lights flashing. Another demonstration that we have not got enough Police if it takes that long for them to arrive.

Some elderly lady said to me yesterday how sad she was that Kingston had declined into the "yobbish" culture around drugs. When you hear these types of things you agree. Something needs to be done if only to save the future lives of these young people taking these drugs.
