Being less down than I have been lately, I have put a lot of effort into the election campaign in the past week. I've delivered about 900 newspapers and hundreds of targetted letters, stuffed about a thousand letters, routed probably several thousand of them, tidied and washed up, and loaned another laser printer to use tomorrow.

Tomorrow is likely to be a long day. I may or may not be able to get up early to deliver "Good Morning" reminders to electors, but in any case I expect to be working from about 8am to 10pm on some mixture of Good Mornings, telling and knocking-up. Then there will be the count. I need to be there at the start to witness the ballot boxes being opened and the votes separated into county and parliamentary elections. The parliamentary count comes first and I don't know whether I will be permitted to stay for that. I would expect that to go on until 2 or 3 in the morning provided there's no need for a recount. Otherwise there is sure to be an election party elsewhere. But on Friday morning I need to be up early to witness the county count from something like 8 till 11 or 12!

having just double checked which party you're standing for... I'd like to add my Best Wishes for tomorrow to the pile that will undoubtedly flow in your direction... Hope it turns out well for you!

By the way, I don't know your new address, and neither does the party. Among the letters I routed were ones to you and [livejournal.com profile] isihac in Fisher Street, which I threw out.

Strange, I'm sure we told them. Anything sent to us at Fisher Street gets redirected by Royal Mail, though that will run out soon. Prod via email if you want the new address.

These were letters to be delivered by our volunteers though, so they wouldn't be redirected unless the current occupants do that. YHM.
