Good Friday didn't start too good. We were sitting in the kitchen having an early breakfast as we were planning to go to the new Bath Spa this morning when my wife said 'There's something funny on the shed roof'. It turned out that the overnight storm had ripped off most of the centre section of felt from the roof and from a distance it looked just like a curled up furry animal. So no Bath Spa and off to the DIY shop to get some felt and repair the roof before we get more rain and wind.





Having taken all morning to repair the shed I thought I would attack my emails this afternoon. But now the PC is misbehaving and won't let me open any attachments - one of which I can see is the campaign timetable which I need urgently. Does anyone else ever feel like throwing their PC out the window? So I've put in a call to my local IT expert who is out fixing someone else's PC and I'm hoping that once he gets my message he will appear like a knight on a white charger and sort out all my PC problems.





When my PC is working life's fine but when it isn't life is incredibly frustrating.





One more call to make today to get another signature on my nomination paper and this is an important one. The widow of a former County Councillor for this Division has agreed to sign my nomination form. Her husband was a highly respected Councillor and held the education portfolio but most importantly was just a very nice man. I feel privileged to be trying to follow in his footsteps - but I'll be happy just to get elected and be a good Councillor for my Division
