All Tomorrow's Parties
'Ey. Guess what I did today ? Something I've never done before in my entire life (well not *this* way anyway). Furthermore, it was quick and easy and I took to it like a duck to water. There was no 'first time nerves', no will-it-really-work ? or 'owt like that. Just dead easy instructions and in one minute it was all done and dusted.I think voting via t'internet is the way forward. 'Cos that's what |'ve just done.
The envelope from the Electral Reform Soceity arrived a couple of days ago. I knew that my firm had, reluctantly, agreed to having a works council - with elected representatives from the employees sitting alongside the back-stabbing, in-fighting 'my-career-at-all-costs' tossers who run the company. I had also noted that this was now a legal requirement and that this fact could, quite possibly, have had more to do with management's *enthusiam* for the idea than a glut of altruistic socialism suddenly affecting the CEO and his immediate underlings. Nonetheless, making the most of what we had, I duly opened it with a view to marking my cross and returning the ballot paper via the pre-paid envelope provided.
Imagine my surprise when, at the top of the ballot paper, I spot the phrase "You may vote by Internet or Post". All made possible by these kind people. Easy-peasy !

The Argos website has got "snow" and Santa Claus on the home page. It's not Novemeber yet. Snow and Santa Claus ? WTF ?
Tonight's breaking news is that Dearest has decided to attend tomorrow evening's weekly quiz at the local !! I'll have to drive her there but she will walk back - thus fulfilling the day's requirement for exercise. That walk will probably take about half-an-hour where usually it takes less than five minutes but, who cares ? Dearest is on her way back ! Yes !!!!
