The thing you have to remember about Labour and Anas Sarwar and Reform isn't that they might work together in the future. It is that they are already working together now, just as they work with the Tories on other councils. Labour value "being in power" more than anything.

That was a brisk head wind but a good Simnel Cupcake and got to read a chapter of A Half Built Garden in the sun.

I realise this is a pretty superficial reason, but which language has the best television series and movies to watch?

I wish I had a task system that actually meant that I did the tasks in it.
All the ones I've tried (and I've tried so many and so many times) are great when they are novel, but then there comes a bit where they fall apart and I struggle to pick them up again.
Even if I maintain them the queues just get longer and filled with things that don't make sense any more and don't get pruned and new things might go on but get ignored and then eventually I stop checking.
I had thought that declaring task bankruptcy more frequently would help, but I even stopped doing that.
I'll still react to deadlines (mostly), and meetings are good ways of getting me to do stuff (either getting prepared or in the meeting), but I've just not really found anything sustainable for me.
Ugh.
