Local Elections...

Being the semi politically aware person that I am, I voted in yesterday's local elections. It was a bloody struggle though. My thinking went: well I'm not going to vote Labour or Tory, because let's face it Labour are doing a pretty bad job, and David Cameron is just too smug. But Basingstoke, unsurprisingly (home counties, fairly middle-class, lots of families) is quite the Tory stronghold, and has been for some time. So my only other option was Lib Dem. There were no other parties. But then I thought well what's the point? The Lib Dems are never going to get anywhere are they. But today when I checked the results I was in for quite the surpirse. Lib Dem are in fact in second place. They do have half as many seats than the Torys, who continue to reign supreme, but at least they've got a couple more than Labour. So my vote did seem to count for something.

As for the London mayor... wilst Boris Johnson is amusing, the thought of him running a jumble sale frightens me. Never mind the capital city for the next rather important 4 years.

Anyway... that was frightfully dull and far too socially aware. I'm going out for a curry with my dad later, and then onto a show by two lovely Australians, Angus and Julia Stone. I can't think of better company for a Friday night. But then what would you expect from a 60 year old trapped in a 21 year old's body?

Still haven't worked out a signing off. Although toodlepip is quite enjoyable. So toodlepip.
