7 weeks to go. Though we thought we were up and running again last week, we jumped the gun a bit as people were mostly still away. So really back at it full tilt from yesterday.
 
My diet has gotten dramatically worse. I am always hungry but have little time to cook anything or do a proper shop. Relying on whatever I can find in Spar and the local chipper. Currently midnight and I’m mid packet of biscuits as I deal with some correspondence (is anyone ever really get on top of their correspondence?).
 
Have been down in Sandymount again these past two nights and the reception has been great (perhaps the sunshine helped?). Bumped into a lot of people I knew too, so a bit of fun – makes for a ‘feel good’ canvass, but not necessarily the most efficient. A few people making fun over the Phoenix article but that’s all part of it I suppose.
 
I had the briefest of moments this evening. We had a local daughter/national celebrity out with us. We were moving well enough from door to door. And as I powered down one driveway and out the gate, turning left to get as quickly as possible to the next open door, I saw myself. As I had always pictured it in my mind’s eye – the campaign I mean. Sunny evening, down on my home turf, out with a good team, going from person to person and not having time to stop. There was a real buzz to it. The next few weeks are going to be fun.
