Voting!

There was a queue when we arrived, but by the time I’d finished it had gone. I still get a kick out of voting and even got nervous as I turned the corner and saw the polling stations. I had a bit of a panic voting for the local people, rather hard when you don’t know who everyone is – I should have known. Sandy and I walked and she met a fan as we were queuing. All very sociable.

The passing of time

Just saw Nanci Griffith at Shepherds Bush -I just kept looking around and smiling – I have been waiting to see her there for years and years.  Was a fantastic gig – apart from the ending, which was odd-too many songs that she didn’t write – Nanci we love your songs!

I first saw her whilst I was at uni and unexpectedly that same group that went to see her all those years ago was nearly all there. One person I wasn’t expecting, a very good ex friend.  A bitter sweet meeting.  So many good memories and much hurt. Probably lots of misunderstandings.

Rally

Local activist week: lots of emails, fliers, and rally in Richmond Park. Even had to speak to a journalist, but that was about something completely different.

This time tomorrow…
