And back to it. Though really, everyone still seems to be in holiday mode with the short week again this week.

I’m in good form I have to say. Rest over the weekend was much needed. And just got a phone call from a resident saying that he and his wife had seen my literature and were going to give me their first preferences. To take their time out of their day to say something positive like that, especially given some of the negative callers in recent weeks, really makes a difference. I don’t think people understand how much a few words of encouragement can mean to someone in my position.

Another coffee morning tomorrow. A bit nervous about it, as I always am with these things. It’s a lot easier to speak from a podium to 300 than it is to a room of 30.
