The Vote

Hope You All Voted!!

So voting day has arrived at last and however you voted I am really doubtful if it will really make very much difference to the ordinary working people of this country. If we leave then a lot of business owners may face financial difficulties, as they will have to pay over the minimum wage eventually. Hospitals and schools will not suddenly empty of children, staff and patients and there will still be waiting lists and staff shortages. As I am writing the leave campaign has a 1% majority but who knows how it will end up. My youngest son called in to collect his voting card and check where he was going to vote. Actually all my family have voted today. Could not believe that 33 people in one county put a cross in both boxes - in and out! Some people really think this is a joke but they should remember that at least in this country you can vote freely without pressure or fear - it is not like this in a lot of countries so we are fortunate here. Don't think I will be staying up all night to see the result, as I have to look after the toddler tomorrow afternoon. Daughter has an interview for a job at a school. We were supposed to be babysitting tonight too, but daughter has caught the toddler's cold and didn't feel like going out.

Scruffy Who Was My Very Best Friend

OH and me took the car to the poll station and then went to the park with the dog. I had already walked there today and given the dog a short walk. I am trying to walk a bit more each day as I need to exercise to keep fit. I'm not too good on hills due to my lungs not working at full capacity but on flat ground I can go quite far. It's lovely to see her run after a ball - she is so fast and full of energy at 9 months old. My last dog could outrun a bike on the cycle path when he was younger. He lived to 17 years even though he had a heart murmur. Still miss him as he was my best friend.

Glastonbury Mud Is Not For Me

Talking of friends I have heard from 3 in the last week. Two want me to go to lunch with them and the other would love me to visit her in her new home. The thing is she has moved to an hours drive away near Glastonbury which is waterlogged if you see the reports on the news! So I think I need to schedule this for when the festival is over and the floods have subsided. I have always wanted to go to the festival but being realistic I doubt very much if I could survive the mud and mess. I like to be clean and tidy(ish) and definitely not almost knee deep in muddy water! Also, I can not sleep in a tent - I just can't get comfortable. It would be very expensive to take a caravan there, even if you could get tickets, so I shall just watch it on TV in the comfort of my own home again lol.
Bye for now off to watch the election results - still only 1% for leave majority @ 1.15 am. lol
All the best x
