On the Campaign Trail

They say a week's a long time in politics - well it certainly is!
Bruised knuckles from trying to shove leaflets etc. through inaccessible post boxes, accusations being made about the opposition and illegal expenses, and my own brief shot at fame on the opposition's main website - most read article apparently, which is really great for my own free publicity, all as a result of my great ad. in the local newspaper - see, advertising really does work! Just over 3 weeks to go now and am well embedded to go on and win. My approach may be unconventional but then my whole life has been that way, so no surprises there.
Am still being groped by vaguely unsavoury types in the local hostelries, and verbally barraged by angry residents, all water off a duck's back to me.
I now know why everyone said that Mrs. T could survive on only 5 hours sleep a night - same here at the moment, am practically post-menopausal and after 5 years of hell with barely 4 hours a night I am now sleeping soundly undisturbed for 5 hours and waking full of beans - hence my nocturnal forays into the hinterlands of Chard.
I have joined everything in sight and quite honestly had not realised quite what an exciting town Chard is - there is so much going on it's a wonder anyone can keep up. All we need to do now is work on the image... something I'm good at ... work calls so have to go now ...stay tuned, and don't forget to look at my updated Youtube (Vote for Vijeh 2) entry, and also facebook of course.
