Post (nearly) every day month, eh?

OK, I missed the first few days, but I was sick and therefore have an excuse! Still sick actually, but not so badly. But i know I need to get back into the habit of writing and this is as good a way as any

I think the two major parties have shot themselves in the foot there - their advertising is giving the impression that there are Huge Problems that need Fixing, when in reality we're doing much better than most of the Western world (let alone the third world) and what we really need is a more cohesive society with a more even distribution of our many advantages, not one which is so divisive and combative.

At least, as you say, we can look forward to less political garbage once Saturday is over!

Always looking forward to hearing your updates as you start your new employment. :-) The laptop sounds lovely and you have the motivation to work by yourself and do the hours at times that suit you. Are you taking walks etc as well to get out of the house?

There are queues of people outside Australia House in London opposite my office and I was wondering if that was something to do with your election, but maybe not....

Yes, I am getting plenty of time outside the house! I actually go out to meetings in the city probably three days a week, most weeks. It's a 20-minute walk one way to the station, and I walk there and back, so I think I'm getting more exercise than I did before.

The people you saw queuing almost certainly were voting - there's been a polling booth at Australia House since August 26 for the ten zillion Aussies living in London :)
