There are changes in Truro now. There is demolition in Pydar Street - the Council's old offices are disappearing - pulled down. There is a project for the regeneration of the whole area. Perhaps it will be finished in the year 2030 - permanent houses for families, temporary accommodation for university students, new offices, shops, a university centre. Will I see the finished development? I'll be more than eighty years old. Perhaps I'll be able to live in a house. Perhaps my grandchild will be one of the university students. And the cost of the development? £170 million (or more?)

Nobody fought or argued. We are all still talking with one another. That is success! And tomorrow is another day.

Several members of my family want to see the start of the New Year. I prefer to go to bed early. So I say "May there be success, happiness and health to everyone in the New Year." Already it's New Year's Day with our friends and relatives in Australia and New Zealand.
