It's been a week since my last post so if you've been reading my first efforts you probably think I've lost interest now. Not so! It's just been an incredibly busy week. I was back to work on Tuesday after a couple of weeks leave. The day job is trying to keep an Emergency department running efficiently at the local general hospital. I'm the Operations Officer for Emergency Medicine which broadly means that administratively almost everything is up to me (al least that's how it seems to me) including all the buying of equipment and consummables. There's certainly never a dull moment. And into the day job I'm now fitting canvassing every night of the week , delivering + trying to keep up to date with my emails and agreeing all the campaign strategy and timetable with the campaign Team.
I couldn't do this without C and D beavering away in the office (quick thought - have I thanked them properly?) organising me and all the countless others who are turning up to support me, paste stakeboards, telephone canvass - the list just goes on and on.
Today was typical . Up at 6, in the hospital at 7, leave at 1 to go to the funeral of a neighbour's son (a tragic early death), on to canvassing between 6 and 8 then to a campaign meeting which finished at 10. Then home to write this blog and answer the rest of the emails.
I'm taking a break this weekend. We have had booked for many months tickets to see the Beach Boys at the Apollo Hammersmith and as luck would have it my youngest sons flat is only a few miles away between Richmond and Kingston. And he's in New Zealand at the moment so we get to use his flat (and his car). We'll have a nice weekend in London and hopefully come back refreshed to join the fray on Monday. This is when I find out who else is standing as nominations close this weekend.
Watch this space for more news early next for news of the competition!
