A unseasonably sunny week ahead expected. Tuesday, I decided, was a getting things done day. Arranged to have house move rubbish cleared by the council, sorted out mail forwarding. Naturally this involved filling out forms online, and then the site not accepting my new address, and then having to queue in a post office to fill out the same forms. Then to Hove to get the year's parking permit for Lorraine's car. Lovely to be out and about in the sun, even if it was just doing chores and shopping.
Spoke to Matt who is having returned from holiday has walked into a world of pain with his choir, and his new lectureship. We'll meet on Thursday for a long-overdue catchup. Still unnaturally attracted to playing guitar. This is a limbo-ish week for me, and I feel as if I am mainly slacking about. This made worse by Lorraine having to work very hard in a climate where new redundancies are about to be announced. We are living in interesting times.
Watched the new leader of the Labour Party Ed Milliband give the leader's speech to the party conference. Everyone willing him to be good. Sadly he is not. The big (in a Lilliputian way) idea, and this is not a joke, is "something for something". We want to live in a country where people get something for something, as opposed to getting something for nothing. This vacuously enough can mean both undereducated underclass slackers or fat cat bankers. Very depressing. Whoever is writing his speeches needs to have a word with themselves.
