21st March 2011

It's Sunday again...watched a lot of footie today...Liverpool won against Sunderland..Rangers were lucky against Celtic in the League Cup in Scotland and Chelsea beat Manchester City....yesterday Scotland beat Italy in the 6 Nations rugby and so saved themselves from getting the wooden spoon.. we didn't do any canvassing this week in our ward because we are awaiting the next delivery of leaflets...but Liz did some canvassing in an adjacent ward and had a great response..apparently no-one is planning to vote LibDem...too ashamed, they say...but you can't believe everything people tell you..but still it's quite encouraging...it's been not too bad, weather-wise...almost Spring-like...the clocks go forward next Sunday...so Summer will soon be on us..

1st March 2011

we're now getting underway for the forthcoming local elections...Liz and me are both standing for Town and District...we have been getting fed-up with people ringing Liz up for her to try and help them get things done, and Liz having to apologise that she hasn't been on the council for 8 years...and the people don't seem to know who their local councillor is...so, we're hoping to raise the profile of the people's representatives in the area and try to do something for the town...it's in a bit of a state at the moment... we've been leafleting around our 'ward'...if the weather stays half-decent, we'll be able to do some more, and maybe do some canvassing..we've never been afraid to speak to people...
