Weekend Update

Been trying to do some volunteer stuff for the local NDP candidate but life gets in the way. Did manage to spend Thursday afternoon canvassing. Was going to go to the candidate’s official office-opening this afternoon, but having gone to a clothing swap in Trinity Bell Park at noon and then stopped with Andrew to get lunch on a patio, he was exhausted and asked me to stay home with him. This may have partly been because a man on the patio had buttonholed us into a long conversation about electromagnetism, which he seemed kind of obsessed with. I think he also disbelieved in gravity.

My cranberry juice looked a bit Twin Peaks-y.


Will try to get back to federal politics later. In the meantime I’ve cleared twenty pieces out of my wardrobe and brought back six new things, including a black stretch-velvet cold-shoulder dress and a pair of lace-trimmed shorts.
