Counting

The Count was good, they had an improved checking system in place this year and everything went nice and smoothly. The turnout was low so everything was pretty chilled and we were out by 2:15, a great improvement on the usual approaching-6. It's a bit odd leaving into the noisy, drunken, burger-scented late evening rather than the calm dawn. My count partner was lovely, full of interesting conversation and very efficient. He fed me Haribo and I fed him Red Bull and all was good (and the longest word you can make from the letters 'ELECTIONSTAFF' is 'affections', whilst the longest word you can make from the letters 'CHERRYHINTON' is something naff like 'trench').

Things in summary

Things!

  • on Thursday we went to ninjutsu for the first time in ages; sensei was away and I ended up paired with the guy running the class in his place, and hence guinea pig for teaching moves. [personal profile] damerell got paired with a scary American who bodily picked him up and dropped him on the floor repeatedly (but in a nice way, at least black belts know how to let you down gently).

  • the council want me for a sunbeam vote counter

  • [personal profile] damerell and I have tickets to see Penn&Teller! OMGsquee&c.

  • I went to the first Sacrilege, which was amazing. They hung a "Welcome home" banner over the stairs and it really was :-)

  • I've changed my work monitor backdrop to this photo and it makes me smile every time I see it: beautiful beautiful wind farm

  • we had the most gorgeous clear weekend with nary a contrail in the sky

  • work randomly gave us free easter eggs today
