A remarkable number of junk emails

Last day of the summer holiday and my eldest son's 32nd birthday. We had a family celebration yesterday - his sister made him a birthday cake and his daughter his favourite banana and chocolate chip muffins so he was a happy man.

I have spent today catching up on over 300 emails, many of them junk: I don't understand why it is that the Council's filtering system can't weed out a remarkable number of junk emails which are plainly of a pornographic nature or are trying to flog viagra or other such drugs. I'm not the only person receiving them and no matter what I do they appear with unfailing regularity. I never open them and whenever one appears I just delete it. Maybe 50 of this sundry assortment this time...it's time BT got their act together and fixed this.

However, in among the dross was a number of interesting stuff, including a detailed list of proposed actions being undertaken to resolve the problems in Granton Crescent. It will be important to learn if the collective problem solving abilities of the local office and local police have been enough to sort the problem out. I intend to speak to the officer tomorrow to find out.
