It doesn't really matter...

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....
