Committee- a group of people who individually can do nothing, but as a group can decide nothing can be done. Not sure who said this but I was reading some committee minutes and there's certainly some truth in the saying.

Today I walked to the end of our track with an older neighbour. He had spotted some mounds of dumped earth - probably from the foundations of a house extension. I had to admit I'd not noticed till a flourish of daffodils appeared on the mounds. What could have been a mess suddenly became an improvement. Not all dumping is a bad thing.

Watched Red Kite fly over the house. Dont have a good photo but remined of the Swans I watched on Lake at Zug.
