Drew, the Small person and I have had horrible colds this last week, over the bank holiday as well. No fun.

Last week saw local elections for much of the UK, I had my first experience of local politics going to act as a ‘teller’ at the polling station for the Liberal Democrats. It was marvellous fun, I was alternately hugged and glared at by old ladies but was rather pleased that at the end of the day the Liberal Democrats took control of the local council.
