I've been in Edinburgh for a few days, though, and extremely fab it was too. Gorgeous, civilised city - I forgot how much I missed it. Full and extremely boring account to follow in a day or so. 53 photos here.

in other news, I appear to have been elected to the Executive of North Somerset Liberal Democrats, and am an official delegate to conference - should be fun.

perlmonger wil have to stay home and mind the cats, and man the phones.

( morning )

after that unsanctioned expenditure of the best part of 700 quid (I fear - haven't quite added it up yet), we hurtled home and consumed a hasty bacon and mushroom (and egg for me) sandwich, then hurtled out again

( afternoon )
still, a large Dexter sirloin with chips, a glass of wine, How ... Maria? and some I Claudius passed the evening very nicely before I crawled off to bed.

Current Mood: aching

well done, Willie Rennie, MP - and his campaign team

Current Mood: very pleased indeed

well, we took ourselves off to see Ming Campbell speak at the Bristol City ground on Friday night. He had a nasty cough, and looked tired but, as I suspected, he has my vote for Libdem leader. I've never liked Sim Hughes, and I don't know anything about Chris Who?ne.

we had an e-mail from one of the local LD suspects this morning mentioning - yet again - the local area annual dinner on Saturday. We've decided to go, so I mailed him back and copied it to the indefatigable Angela, with the prediction that she would be around within the hour to collect the £31.00 it would cost for two tickets.

I did her an injustice - it took her 2.5 hours :) And I found myself volunteering to help set up on Saturday afternoon ...

from a letter in today's Times

"Sir, Alcoholics, like other addicts, are dishonest, manipulative and scheming. Are these not the exact qualities required to be a successful party leader these days?"

[edit]and

"Sir, Leading the Liberal Democrats as a reforming alcoholic should be no problem. After all, we have a reformed one running the world’s only superpower."
