I got electionAnd yay, we did get to vote, at the polling station around the corner from our flat, and it was good. A disappointing range of local candidates, I think I went for the best of a bad bunch.Farewell then, weeping fig - our big pot plant that we bought ... Meet the new bossHow bizarre to have a coronation instead of an election to decide our new prime minister. I'm not sure if Gordon Brown will make a good / bad / better / worse prime minister, but it doesn't feel right to have him ushered in in this way, it's only goi... Talk about hedging your betsNew KISS t-shirts. I guess they're saying "just make sure you vote", but it's a bit like selling arms to both sides of the war isn't it?... Obama vs McCain, battle of the t-shirtsOf those two t-shirts I posted here a while back, the Barack Obama one has been viewed twice as many times as the John McCain one. I think Obama's going to win.... A new dawn, a new hope, a new America, etcA shift away from Conservatism, it's Obama what won it. The number of seats makes it look like a proper drubbing, Barack Obama winning two for each one that John McCain did, and it wasn't close like George W Bush's controversial win, but it looked li... Due Day plus ELEVENEven NHS Pregnancy Desktop has given up on us now. This is an annoying thing Clare installed once, starts up with the computer and shows a little timeline of how close you are to your due date and some pregnancy related news stories, from the NHS. Fo... Remember to vote people!Lovely day today, nice to have a little stroll before work. And as a bonus I got to do my bit fighting against fascism! Didn't actually get to vote against the BNP locally, our ward is seemingly not deprived and ill educated enough to put up a candid... Remember to vote people!Plenty of parking down at Trinity Church if you are in the same ward as me, so no excuses about it being too far or nowhere to park.... Busy at work todayOngoing volcano stuff means a lot more calls in to work than normal, so everyone's chipping in. I haven't been answering calls myself but have been responding to customer emails instead of just keeping my head down in my little programmers bubble. It... Harry sick againHe didn't cry at all in the night until just after five but he was caked in vomit when I went in to him, poor little lamb. He was chirpy enough and pleased to be up. So nice early start changing him and his cot and bathing him. I stayed up, but Clare... Following the herds down to GreeceDoh people are dying in the Greek rioting, that's not good. Just setting fire to a bank is not going to help. Looks like the exchange rates are going in our favour, possibly as a result of this huge debt in the euro zone.I thought up a great pun in t... There's room to park at Trinity church hallThat's my polling station. Better to walk there than to drive (I did, *double smug*) but better to drive than not to vote.A disappointing election all roundI had to go to bed before any but the very earliest seats came in. Lots of Conservatives won, but not our one. I would have preferred they had all lost but David Gold won.So a hung parliament probably, does not sound like it can be a good thing for a... Cameron missed a trick thereAll the TV cameras were watching his front door in Notting Hill this morning, he was live on BBC, he should have come out in just his pants. I knew he was not to be trusted.Of secondary importance, he also missed a chance to make Vince Cable chancell... I'm saying yesI'M SAYING YES I've done a video for " I'm Saying Yes", the Yes To AV song from "Wonderful Wednesday", here:I'm always EXTREMELY grateful when people re-post/tweet/mention our videos, but I would be ESPECIALLY so this time. I reckon that if the refe... Don't forget to vote todayI have the day off today, just me and Harry while Clare is at work.
