Entry 580; Day 1355

I think everyone worked very hard yesterday and did quite admirably at their labours. The City looks to be in splendid shape. Even the leaves have been pulled out of the gutters on the opera house, thanks to one young man with a rope and some nerve. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd found hidden in those leaves the last of the coins that rained down on the City a few years ago. I don't think he did--or, if he did, I certainly didn't hear anything about it.
I've rarely seen the City so busy as it was yesterday: sweeping the streets, washing the windows, pruning the hedges, clearing the drains in the streets, scrubbing up graffiti on the walls, painting shop signs, polishing all the streetlamps and even changing the lights in them, and, yes, pulling the leaves from the gutters of the opera house and any number of other places. I even heard someone was down in the sewers. And I don't believe he was a ratcatcher.
Yes, I think you've all quite earned something of a Christmas box for this year.
Although I don't think I'm the one to give it.

[ooc: Don't mind him, Cain's just being snide because he wasn't cursed yesterday. He'll get his eventually, of course. 19th century trivia! A "Christmas box" is a tip or reward given on the first weekday after Christmas to those, like servants, who have helped one during the year--hence "Boxing Day."]
