I
am very proud to report that, as of this moment, I still have no clue about any
of the results from yesterday's UK General Election. I had avoided the whole
build-up, I had avoided the whole debating procedure in the workplace, and now I
have avoided any of the coverage of the past 24 hours. I imagine I am very much
in a minority with all that, but I would argue that my mental health and my general
sense of wellbeing will be in a much better state than most of the rest of the
country today as a result.
So,
you can take your 'informed viewpoint' and your 'educated decision' and your
illusion of democracy, and I shall keep my low blood pressure, sense of calm,
and well-groomed political cynicism, thank you.
In other news - because, believe it or not, there is still stuff going on in
the world that DOESN'T ultimately involve No.10 Downing Street - I have had a
couple of meetings this week about Christmas entertainment! It looks like we'll
be busy right over the December period again, and Gavin seems obsessed with
turning us into a big destination for families who have spare money to spend on
Yuletide holidays, so I'm having to book in some extra acts before they all get
snapped up. Otherwise we'll end up paying extortionate amounts, or getting crap
entertainment that no-one else wants, or both in the same package. It's a bit
upsetting, though, to be discussing this stuff when I'm still waiting for
Summer to kick in properly. And it also means a possibly busy time at the end of
the year, instead of getting a chance to enjoy a family Christmas, but we'll
see how it all pans out.
I must be tired, by the way - it just took me about an hour to work out how to
spell EXTORTIONATE before I finally realised that I was using an N instead of
the second T. Honestly, sometimes I wonder whether I ever paid attention at
school at all....
